I am the eldest of four children. Three of us being girls, and than the fortunate youngest- the boy!
Being away at university- nearly 20 hours from home- provides little time to spend with my family, it is tough, but we get by with emails, phone calls and the great technology of MSN.
Today I was blessed to have received an email from one sister and share some quick words on msn with the other.
The email was genius (I really wonder where my dear sisters learned such writing skills!) and insightful! For my sister- a large supporter of anti-boy views- has given me relationship advice. Where did she learn it you may ask- from a book of course, where else! She said :
I've figure you out. Your not afraid of commitment you are just afraid of being trapped in the relationship. You want freedom and relationship together. And every guy you've liked and went out with kept trying to get a big commitment out of you so you felt trapped. So you pulled away a little to see if you had any freedom left and they chased you harder. You just have to find some one who gives you space when you pull away that will let you know that you still have freedom and then be like but why isn't he trying to get me back and you'll start wanting a commitment from him. See all problems solved.
For now I remain impartial to such advice, but it is an interesting concept.
As for my other dear sister, I have not received an email from her in a while, but she still cheers me up when ever I talk with her. This is what the end of our conversation resembled this evening :
HER:?
alright, much love to you too dearling, rock edmonton to shreds love you bunny!!!!?
?
?ME:?
lol . . . bunny?
?
?HER:?
that's right, it's a compliment too
?
My love for them grows each day, as does my yearning for them.
~I pity those without sisters, for who than can make you laugh and cry at the same time ~

Hmmm...That really makes a lot of sense, your sister is indeed wise beyond her years, in matters that she shouldn't be.
Kyla you're a genius and should be commended for your abundance of knowledge...the Muffin salutes you...not that means anything...Sisters are awesome and they make me feel better everyday and i only miss them more everyday...and if i got the wrong sister giving the advice i apologize
I love having sisters (and being a big sister totally rocks). I think its funny how your little sister gave you relationship advise - my sisters do that too "You know what your problem is..." HAHAHA - where do these younger sisters get their wisdom. I totally agree with your post - having sisters is probably one of the coolest gifts God has given me.

Hey Lauren! Suzanne tells me that leaving comments is a good idea because then you know I've read them, so, here goes. I would have to agree with you that sisters are amazing, but you could feel that way since you have the coolest sisters the world has ever seen!:P Just kidding, I think you win that title. I miss having you around to give ME relationship advice...Kyla is not as helpful as this blog makes her out to be, love you big sister and I miss having seeing you everyday!(L)
***I miss seeing you every day
Hey Lauren...
So, I didn't say "I'm living in Dryden till I'm married."
... someone else did
Kyla is so smart by the way.
P.S. in your letter thing to prevent spam on your comment thing, I had to type in EIGHT letters. Blah.
thanks for being so dedicated to leaving me a comment Stacy :)
