Is there such a thing as "Sisters Day"? Well, there should be...therefore I deem today "National Sister's Day"! Just because I want a special day to recognize my sisters. Today is Linda's birthday and since I already shared stuff about her and how special she is...I want a chance to talk about all my sisters. See this plate? When Linda was in the hospital for the last time and I went down to visit her the first thing she said to me is "Lisa, go into my spare bedroom and go into the closet and there are 4 plates I made for you girls for Christmas, please make sure each of the girls get one." So, this really was a good-bye gift from her to each of her sisters....that's us!
So, today I'd like to celebrate these 4 special women in my life, "The Angel", "The Giver", "The Actress" and "The Artist".....My Sister's!
The Angel ....of course is Linda and I know that she is watching over us now that she has passed on and she keeps me in line...I feel her presence and influence in my life....she reminds me to be gentle, loving and forgiving. (she's sitting on my left in this pic, oh, I'm the one in the middle)
The Giver....That's Dorothy, she is the most giving person I know...always always doing for others...when she walks into a room I think the first thing she does is scan the place to see what needs to be done and then she does it. She is always the first one to play with the kids and do the dishes and just do what needs to be done...she is also the most understanding person I know...and I've never told her this but she reminds me of Jennifer Aniston with her funny quirky kind of sense of humor...that beautiful comedy sort of way... i love her dearly! (she's the next in line and is the one with the longest hair in this pic)
The Actress.....That's Regina, she truly is an actress...always has been since we were young. I remember going to her in plays in high school. She is extremely talented in many ways. She brought great fun into our lives as kids....always acting, dancing and singing....a real "Drama Queen"(remember "Johnny Angel"?go to my playlist and click on song#2) . She was always my protector too when I was young. Whenever she's around you can count on being entertained. She is a lot of fun and is also a very loving person...love you Regina! (she's sitting on my right in this pic)
The Artisit....That's Theresa, we are 2 years apart and fought like cats and dogs growing up. Now we are the best of friends! Talk to her at least twice a day. She got all the creative talent in the family...not fair! She really is an artist..can make just about anything and turns it all into gold! She is my baby sister so she is just special because of that....plus I like to pick her brain for ideas as often as I can. She also has the sweetest most sensitive heart! Love you madly!

And here we are again...We like to have a good time together, can you tell? Linda always made sure of that! We havent had a complete sister's weekend together since she passed on, but we need to make sure we do it again....soon. So, here's to my wonderful, beautiful, funny, loving, and sweet sisters! I love you guys! Happy National Sister's Day! You guys Rock!!
