Post from the O.G. Sister... Ya Heard?

Have I ever mentioned that I am very proud of my sister, Cristina? She's the first out of the sibs to graduate College. I knew this girl could do it. How can she not? Her drive was to stay away from home! I'm kidding. That might be a small part of it, but maybe it's because she's just smart and a hard worker. I'm so hard on her, when she was in high school, I told her that if she doesn't graduate with honors, I wasn't going to her graduation. I'm so mean! But you know what? It worked, cause she graduated in that white gown. The thing is, I'm only hard on her because I know she has the the potential to be G R E A T.

And even if I'm hard on her, I support her in everything that she does. A small part of me live vicariously through her. She's the one that got to leave... to have "the car"... to not have the parents literally breathe down her back... to be able to do whatever she wants... Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous. She deserves all the good things that has come her way, especially after all the sh*t that she put up with at home. Why do you think I helped convince my parents to let her go? I guess I sometimes miss spending time with her. Back in high school, we were always hanging out. My friends were her friends. We would talk all night, catch up on things. (Aww... I'm getting all teary-eyed.)

So anyway, to make a long story short (cause I'm at work) I love you my sister. I'm proud of how far you've come... and what you have achieved. I know that many more blessings will be headed your way. *HUG*
