Except, you brought tears to my eyes! I miss my sister so, so much - probably more than anyone else on that side of the world (but don't tell anyone else that ;). <br />Numerous times as I read, I smiled knowingly and chuckled as I was reminded of different aspects of my relationship with Leah. If you don't mind, I would like to comment more in depth in an e-mail, 'cause I am afraid it would be too long here.<br />Thank you so much!Ruthie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300424322263964718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-33643630339179506362011-03-12T23:54:45.608-08:002011-03-12T23:54:45.608-08:00A very sweet and o-so-true post, Lauren.

But I must say we have had our arguments and fights, but by the Grace of God, we are now very best friends and love working together, not that we don't have our disagreements, but we have a much better relationship now.<br /><br />And yes, walking into a room and saying the exact same thing Veronica said a minute before has happened so much, I can't even count...Now I tell people that if I start telling the same story Veronica did please tell me so they don't have to hear it again! <br /><br />I am glad for the many friends who are longsuffering with me!<br /><br />VictoriaVictoria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098717053303292771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-68028049188126313902011-03-11T18:00:24.787-08:002011-03-11T18:00:24.787-08:00DebbieLynne--I couldn't help but smile when I ...DebbieLynne--I couldn't help but smile when I read your comment, because Mikaela and I feel the exact same way! Some people might think that's really weird, but I just think God knew what He was doing when He gave us sisters! God bless!<br />Victoria--Of course I remember you! I always look forward to the comments from our blogosphere twin friends!(-: It's funny how people try to box twins in--they either want us to be two peas in a pod or opposites, but in fact we are our own individuals who happen to be quite similar in a lot of areas, but also have our differences. Does one of you enter a room and repeat what the other person just said all the time? Our friends and family have to be quite longsuffering with us! <br />Leontien--That would be so hard! I can't even imagine, but I definitely empathize with you! Do you use Skype to keep in touch? I'm not sure if that would help or just make me miss my sister more! Thanks so much for commenting!<br />Penn--It's great to hear from you, and I love knowing that there are other sister pairs out there who are the best of friends! Don't you think the people who spend their childhoods fighting with their sisters just don't know what they're missing out on?Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275901948825550198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-8851727615462103462011-03-11T17:34:26.739-08:002011-03-11T17:34:26.739-08:00Lauren,

My sister [two years older than me] is my absolute best friend. I’m SO thankful for that. We too stay up way past our bedtimes chatting... though we don’t get in trouble for it anymore. ;) <br /><br /> “someone will bring up the fact that this cannot last forever.” We do that all the time, too! I definitely plan to spend 3 hours on the phone with my sister when we’re each in our own separate homes someday. <br /><br /> Delightful and mature post. Thanks so much.<br /><br /><br />-PennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-34752041097220116072011-03-11T17:17:00.060-08:002011-03-11T17:17:00.060-08:00ohh i love this post!

The good thing is now when she comes (about 2 times a year) every moment is that much more special!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br />LeontienLeontienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311969195332643600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-39692429073332859872011-03-11T16:46:46.141-08:002011-03-11T16:46:46.141-08:00WOW- that was a great blog post! Seeing that me an...WOW- that was a great blog post! Seeing that me and my sister are identical twins (not sure if you remember commenting back to us before). I was curious to see what you would say about your relationship together and as I read, everything you wrote I found myself saying "yep, we are the exact same way!" When you talked about doing a project together and Mikaela taking it on more and you being more relaxed about it..lets just say...Veronica and I work together every day in our business- when it comes to a more complicated job or one with more details and time involved, I would be exactly like you, Lauren, and Veronica like Mikaela...But as you said we have learned and are still learning how to work things out and see it from eachothers points of view... <br /><br />Then again when you wrote about talking to eachother and talking at night in bed...well there is a rare night when my older sister doesn't have to say "Girls, do you always have to talk when you come up to bed? Your mouth can't stop going!" Well, we finally give in...and go to bed...<br /><br />I just loved this post, probably because I saw myself in it all the way!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />VictoriaVictoria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098717053303292771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-73786625294624994892011-03-11T15:08:45.702-08:002011-03-11T15:08:45.702-08:00Good preparation for marriage!Good preparation for marriage!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367012840719617546noreply@blogger.com
