I just had to write this out...Biologically I have a half sister. When people would ask me while growing up how many brothers and sisters I had, I would always say I have 3 brothers. I never really spoke of my sister unless I got technical. We have a huge age gap, she's 47 and I'm 29. We never had a relationship. She excluded herself from our family. She'd act like she cared about us when anything "bad" would happen in the family and then she'd fade away again. Part of me has always been a little resentful of her. I didn't like the way she treated my dad and I never understood why she wanted nothing to do with us. I probably never will understand but today I don't need to understand anymore! I have someone in my life who is the sister I never had. I met her when I was 12 and instantly we bonded. We have been inseparable ever since! She hadn't been to Utah in 7 years until this last year...she's made 3 trips and it's been fabulous! I've actually been lucky enough to make it to Arizona to see her a few times over the last few years and hope to make another trip soon! In any case, I just wanted to say how much I love you Tiffiney. You are the sister that I never had and I cherish our friendship!
