My sister and I are incredibly close. She's my fave person ever. She was adopted the day before my 13th birthday. We say she's the best birthday gift I've ever gotten lol. She and I may bicker at times, but we will fiercely defend one another from bullies and whatnot. Someone I know spoke badly about her having autism and intellectual disabilities in my presence and I went off on them. You don't disrespect my sister. My sister once defended me in a similar situation when she mentioned my chronic pain condition.

She has been taking excellent care of me lately because I am laid up with a broken ankle/leg that needed surgery to fix. I did the same for her when she had spine surgery.

She and I share so much with each other. Probably more than anyone else but our mom. My sister constantly comes into the room I'm staying in to talk and show me her drawings. She talks about her friends and how they're doing and if she has plans with them. She'll read me the letters she's going to send to her friend who is in the military.

She's the best. I get frustrated with her when she throws fits or doesn't listen to me when I try to help her handle the dogs, but that feeling is temporary.

From the moment I met her, she was my favorite person. We put her in the car, she was 3 at the time, and she said "Mommy, Sissy, where we goin?" My mom and I broke into happy tears when we heard that.

Gosh I love her so much.
