Most of my friends have heard me use the term "Big cats are never meant to share the same cage" and they'll know exactly who I'm referring to.
My sister and I have had our ups and downs. Living in the same house we got on each others' nerves, fought constantly and were always competing to see who was best (me academically, her athletically!) But once one of us moved out, it was almost like our relationship changed overnight.
My sister is my biggest supporter, she is guaranteed to never sugarcoat anything when talking to me and she has an uncanny knack of knowing what I'm thinking at times and says just the right thing to make it right.
I love that we are so comfy as sisters now that when we go camping together and she has had enough of me (usually about day 3), she will look me dead in the eye and tell me "I'm going for a drive into town, you're not invited" and I can take that without even a second thought. If that was any one of my friends, I would be heartbroken, but with my little sis, I know it's just her way of saying she's over my crap and needs to recharge. Better that than her whacking me over the head with my own arm! And so far, she has always come back!!!!
I love that we can fight to the death over something, yet if someone says a single negative thing about either of us, we'll round on them as one, united. Ask Brendon. He knows!
And I love that no matter how little we see of each other (and there seems to be less and less time as our lives get busier and busier), we can still fall into comfortable conversation, have a good old laugh, be catty and bitchy about our lives and just be sisters.
So here's of pic of me and my Sis - we're not the kind of family who say this to each other in person, so here goes - love you Shaz!
