| My sister and I |
Sisters are great! And I am not just saying that because I have one or I am one. For a girl to have a sister is to have a confidante, a friend, an understanding soul, and someone who can tell you when you're wrong. Sisters share more than just blood connection. To be a sister to another woman is a privilege that many take for granted.
When we found out that Monkey In-Waiting is going to be a boy I felt a bit of sadness. I do love my boys with all my heart, but I felt sadness for Girly Monkey because she will never have a sister. See, the thing is that we ever only wanted four kids, so after Monkey In-Waiting is born we are done having more kids. This means that there will never be another girl in this house until my boys start bringing their girlfriends and later wives into our house. This means that my daughter will miss out on having a sister just like I did.

| On my wedding day |
There are many women who grew up with brothers, or didn't have a great relationship with their sisters that can't see what the big deal about sisters really is. I am not saying that having brothers or really close friends is bad, I am just stating that it's not the same as having a close bond with a sister.
