What Is A Sister?

What is a sister?


A sister is someone who will travel for hours with you to find the perfect graduation dress for a daughter/niece..... then take a load off those weary feet before heading to the jewellery department........





A sister will travel up and down those escalators.... all day long..... in and out of stores...... looking for just the right shoes to go with that gown!........








And sisters will attend that Grade 8 graduation and will wipe the tears from their eyes as they watch their nephew/son and niece/daughter move to the next stage in their lives.......









A sister goes to a fundraising event to support her sister, who raised $1,450 with the selling of just ONE PIE so she could afford to travel on a mission trip to Kenya.......






A sister (and her daughter) comes to the hospital to visit her nephew before she heads to the airport for Africa. One last goodbye before travelling to Kenya to meet her sponsor child and take gifts to many other eagerly-awaiting children......

A sister is someone who talks you out of buying the whole skid of PEPSI at the entrance of Zellers, even if the fizzing up the nose is worth the extra weight on the hips........

Sisters unselfishly help you drive a young boy back to his college 14 hours away..... two provinces to the east..... with frequent stops at Timmies........

Sisters decorate the mini-van with balloons and bring along window markers and brightly coloured lit-up balls and name tags and poster boards...... all for the purpose of thoroughly embarrassing the teenage boy who must ride with crazy women for 14 hours straight..... what an extremely brave young man!.........










A sister does interpretive dance in the hotel room after the 14-hour van ride.......










..... as well as the hokey-pokey. I believe it's called The Happy Dance after we had staff RE-CLEAN the toilet in our "already cleaned" room. Oooh.my.goodness..........[gag].......










A sister just happens to pull up beside you in the bank parking lot.... and after talking for a bit, realizes that she must use the "ladies powder room"..... IMMEDIATELY...... however, she cannot make it across the parking lot without "an accident" happening and must sit back down in her van until "the moment passes". A good sister would never have told you that story on a public blog........












A sister makes good food for you to eat when you go to her house to watch the good ol' hockey game on the big screen.........











Sisters dress themselves up, even though they've outgrown the Trick or Treating (maybe), just to keep their kids entertained........












A sister takes her nephew on the family vacation to Newfoundland, and also takes the time to stop at his future college in NB to check things out.......











Sisters get together on the soccer field on hot summer days to cheer on, and likely embarrass, all their kids who make us immensely proud........










Sisters make a long journey to the hospital to ensure their nephew and oldest sister are okay......











Sisters will get up and perform a song, that they've never rehearsed!, at a fundraiser for their nephew/son, where thousands of dollars were raised by the best folks in the world to help a very sick young man and his family afford his very-costly-and-not-yet-government-funded medications.......







Sisters appreciate the blessed opportunity of attending a Christian Women's Weekend Conference with 350 other spectacular ladies......







Sisters get a little crazy in the van on the way to the Women's Conference and receive strange looks from curious city folk.....

Sisters cry, and use the readily available tissues placed at each table, when their sister starts crying on stage while telling others the joy of meeting her "sponsor daughter" in Kenya......

Sisters decide to get senile with Ma Critter at the Conference, then "roast" her in front of 350 women with pictures of the past........ Ohhhhh, BIG mistake, ladies.......






Sisters should not be given cameras as they wait for children to begin their indoor soccer tournament...... Boredom results in silliness........






.... and realizing that you both have a droopy left eye.......







.... and realizing that boredom can make you do crazy things......

..... and make you think, "Heeeey!!!! We don't look too half bad in these dark-rimmed nerdy glasses!!!"........

Sisters travel to the hospital once again with bags and bags of necessities for a hospital stay...... cookies, chips, mixed nuts, and a brand new container of Tim Horton's French Vanilla mix. We are WELL looked after!........
