Callista

You and I were born miles apart
But our lives have taken many of the same roads
We have shared secrets, dreams and hopes...
We have laughed and cried at many of the same things.
We have experienced the joy
And the sadness
At finding pieces of ourselves in each other.
Though we are not related by birth we are related by soul.

For whatever the reasons
You came into my life halfway through its journey.
We didn't have those yesterdays of being little girls together...
We didn't share the same mother or father...
Or help each other blow out our birthday candles...
There weren't any days of playing hopscotch or tag...
Of staying up nights giggling and planning our futures...

We have never experienced the gift of love that sisters share
Until now.

I have been lucky in having a life filled with many great friends
But none of them knows my heart and soul as you do.
You have given me something very special
A gift that until about ten years ago I never knew I had missed
And which now I can't imagine being without...
The gift of a sister's love.
