My older sister was definetly the biggest influence. She is 17 years older than me and I was the apple of her eye. (me and my younger sister who is 2 years younger than me). Sissy took us everywhere with her. She even broke up with a boyfriend who complained that she always wanted to take us places! Once she got married we used to love sleeping over her house. She was the one who took me to get my ears pierced. I'm nearly 49 now and we are still very, very close.
My fondest memory is laying on my parents bed, with my head on my dad's arm. We were looking out the window at a Santa Claus that was attached to the top of the garage and just talking. Simple thing, but it's always stuck with me. |
