As a child, I wanted a sister so badly! I tried to beg my parents to house a "Lamanite" sister when that was an option even! I had cousins who lived nearby and I was so glad to have them. But somehow, the thought of someone who shared a room, shared parents, shared mealtimes, trips, and other family events was so prominent in my wishes.
Well, it never came to be. I did get very close to my cousin, Nancy, and my other cousin Carolyn. And I have always been friends with Karen Gundersen (Luke) even to this day! My neighbor Tina, was sisterly to me. In 7th grade, I met a sweet friend, Melodie Marsh. It was then that I thought up a great idea! I could CHOOSE my own "sisters". Of course it wouldn't be a true blood-related or adopted sister, but I could still get and give the same to whomever I chose. And thus, in my life, I have chosen a few wonderful sisters! And I also received some amazing sisters-in-law, a perfect daughter, and others who have blessed my life.
For the next few posts, I will focus on a "sister" and highlight how she has been an influence in my life.
