Thanks To My Sister!

Tonight we celebrated our upcoming wedding with a Lingerie Shower. My sister has been working on this shower for a couple of months now. She ordered invitations, paid for them to be printed, got food for the shower, decorated, cooked, bought presents, made up games, performed her hostess duties, and even made me a wonderful panty line complete with poem. I could not ask for a more precious gift in my life than to have a sister as wonderful as mine. There is no doubt in my mind she is my best friend in the world. Without her around I would completely lose my mind. She has helped hold me together during the craziness of this wedding and performed her sisterly and maid of honor duties beautifully. I know that she is truly excited for me and I know that she loves Chris. It is going to be so hard being away from her everyday once Chris and I get married. I am so use to her being right there next to me everyday. I am use to being able to shout down the hall for her if I need her. I love how she is right next door if I need to talk. I am so blessed to have such an amazing sister but am also having trouble coping with the fact that I will soon be leaving her and my parents. I am still not quite ready to leave. I know I must grow up and I know they can still come visit...it's just different. I am excited for my new life with Chris as husband and wife but sad to close this chapter in my life. My sister and I, I know, will have our daily talks and visits with one another. Of course with our busy lives I know there will be days that is not possible. I can only do as much as I can and hope for the best. We will have to work at it but I have no doubt that we will always stay close and always be there for each other. I could not imagine my life without my sister in it. She is everything to me and my best friend. Thank you Emma for all you have done and will do for this wedding. You are an amazing sister and I am so blessed that God chose to put you in my life. I could not ask for a better sister than you! You are the best and I love you more than you will ever know!!
