My sister my friend I love you Eileen


My sister Eileen where do I start to tell you about Eileen? Or even more of a monumental task to let you know how much she means to me? Ill start on the morning of November 20 1969 when my mom went to her scheduled OB appointment and her doctor told her to go across the street to the hospital because she was going to give birth that day. I had been at school and saw my grandmother standing there when my two brothers and I got off the school bus and I excitley ran up to Ganny and asked her what she was doing there and she explained Mommy had the baby today and we all chimed in at the same time to ask the most important question we all had "what is it a boy or a girl?" When Ganny said a girl I screamed in delight while my brothers only groaned and walked into the house I was too busy dancing in the driveway and whooping it up I have a sister!!! Thirty six years later I can still honestly say I can still whoop it up I have a sister!! I was nine years and 18 days old when my sister was born and some people might think that that is a huge age difference for siblings to be so close but we were always close and no matter what direction or path our lives take us on we will always be close. The bond of sisters is so special to me I could never explain it to anyone who isnt as close as we are.........its just such a intense love and friendship that is always there and never taken for granted and always appreciated. My life is always better because Eileen was born I cant explain it so Ill just say I love you with all my heart Eileen but you already know that
