As the younger sibling my relationship with my sister has existed forever and it&#8217;s both nostalgic as well as interesting to look back on it.  We have journeyed through different places and stages in life, together and apart.  In some ways we are so similar and then in others so very different.  More recently the thought has been floating around in my head of how I, the younger sister, was married first, so now it feels only &#8216;right&#8217; and &#8216;good&#8217; that my sister started her family before me.  And I like to watch how she interacts with her children and goes about raising her kids; I like that I have a big sister who has been there already, who will have tips for me when I have kids, and has forged a trail in this field for me to follow in.  <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Keep the above in mind as you read these words which I wrote about my sister after returning from our family vacation in Maui.
