"What is the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it with?" Jenny DeVries

I'm having a bit of a panic attack today, and it's not because I didn't get to see The Office last night. Rather, it's because I am realizing that in one short month, my baby sister will be married - MARRIED! I feel like such a mom because I can't believe that my little baby sister is grown up enough to be married. To be fair, she is the same age that I was when Steve and I were married, but it still hard to fathom.


In one month she will be putting on her dress and I will be helping her in it. She will be anxious and giddy and I will be calming her down. She will be picture perfect and I will be stunned. She will be a wife and I will be proud.


Gone are the days where we were dressed in the same outfits, sharing each other's every moment, and sometimes aggravating each other as only sisters can do. Gone are the nights where we would run around the bedroom and stay up as late we could, talking to each other, doing gymnastics or playing cards.


I do miss those sister moments of childhood.


But in one month, I get to stand beside her and support her on one of the most important days of her life. And truth be told, I cannot wait.
