Sisters

Sisters are the best. I love Ramona! So do my girls, whom I also call "sister." And if you are close enough to me and well a female, I may also adopt you as my "sister." So herein lies the confusing part. When all said "sisters" are in the same room and I say "hey sister" I've discovered this can be difficult for some. My poor girls. I started calling them "sisters" when 1 girl became 2, and hence they were sisters. Then 3 came, followed by sweet D. So four sisters, is quite the house full of "sisters." I can't quite remember when I started to referring to Ramona, as "sister." Was it in my pre-husband, children days, or did it evolve once the children were here, and I wanted to distinguish the point to them that their aunt was first and foremost MY "sister." Then over the years, I have added many "sister"-friends. And causally refer to them as "sister." This has turned into a term of affection. So if are in my company, or receive an email, and I mention "sister", take a look around, if my girls, or Ramona are not present...then I'm talking to you...sister!
