Big Sisters...

I miss my sister; she's the best. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about family, especially with the approach of Christmas. My sister and her hubby are going to be in the states (they live in Saskatoon) and are going to be visiting over the holidays - I am really excited about it. We haven't seen them since our visit this summer and I really miss her. She has such a presence in our family and having her so far away is difficult. There is so much I admire about her, everything from her satiric humor and her passion for politics, to her genuine originality and constant search for truth. I can't wait to see her this Christmas and have her bake her famous apple cake and fight with her about who gets to put the star on top of the tree and see her eyes light up when she sees the city for the first time. I miss my big sister.
