Grab your posts link and add it to the Mister Linky HERE. Check back and visit those fellow quoter's and see the quotes they are sharing with us.
I work with one of my sister's on the weekends. This week we were talking about the fact that we get to see each other more now than we have in years. It really is funny though how we fall back into the patterns of conversations that began so long ago. I also visited my other sister today. The kids and I went to her house for a few hours. It was so nice to get to visit with her and just sit and drink cofffee and talk while the kids played outside in the nice fall weather!! So sister's are really on my mind this week. I hope that you enjoy my quotes!!
I know that I have used this picture before...but I don't have a ton...I am going to have to remember to take more pictures when we are all together!!From Left: Me, my Mom, Crystal and Brandy
A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost. ~Marion C. Garretty
If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~Linda Sunshine
Sisters never quite forgive each other for what happened when they were five. ~Pam Brown
What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it? ~Jenny DeVries
Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship. ~Margaret Mead
A sister smiles when one tells one's stories - for she knows where the decoration has been added. ~Chris Montaigne
How do people make it through life without a sister? ~Sara Corpening
There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me. ~Mary Montagu
Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other. ~Carol Saline
When mom and dad don't understand, a sister always will. ~Author Unknown
A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. ~Isadora James
The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend. ~Cali Rae Turner
An older sister helps one remain half child, half woman. ~Author Unknown
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. ~Pam Brown
I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. ~Maya Angelou
Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago - the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider.... It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled. ~Jane Mersky Leder
Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing, and no matter what we choose to make of this, we are cast in relation to them our whole lives long. ~Susan Scarf Merrell
Sibling relationships - and 80 percent of Americans have at least one - outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust. ~Erica E. Goode, "The Secret World of Siblings," U.S. News & World Report, 10 January 1994
Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring - quite often the hard way. ~Pamela Dugdale
Sisters share the scent and smells - the feel of a common childhood. ~Pam Brown
A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams. ~Author Unknown
Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. ~Pam Brown
Sisterhood is powerful. ~Robin Morgan
Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling. ~Pam Brown
One of the best things about being an adult is the realization that you can share with your sister and still have plenty for yourself. ~Betsy Cohen
You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories. ~Deborah Moggach
