A Sister

I never wanted a sister.

Jason was always enough.

I never even thought about what another sibling would be like. He was always more than enough for me to keep up with. (Not to mention he has enough personality for 6 brothers.) I was always happy.  Always content to trail behind.  Follow in his footsteps.  Be his shadow.

Be his confidant.  His alibi...  His scapegoat.  His sounding board. His friend.

I never wanted a sister...  Until he met Sterling.

Now I see that while I haven't been 'missing out' on having a sister, I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of my life with one.  Especially one as good and kind and special as she is.

Congratulations Jason and Sterling!  



I love you both!

-Sterling says, "awwwww...Jen...what can I even say? This really means a lot to me. I still don't think that the reality of all of this has set in yet."
-Jason says, "Thank you for the props and...did you really think I would let you down and pick a crummy sister for you? :)"
-Sterling says, "Jenifer...holy crap...we really are going to be sisters...forever! How lucky can one girl be? Finding your brother, I feel like I have struck gold! The reality is setting in that I have gained even more that...I have a sister too. I have a friend, a confidant, an alibi, a scapegoat, a sounding board and a sister. Your parents have been fantastic, supportive and have taken me in like a daughter. Those are big shoes to fill, so maybe I can be your shadow for a while.
I love you! I am so excited to have a sister, for the rest of my life!

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some are broken, some are whole, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all learn to live in the same box.
