So i don't think i have introduced to you all my sister Ania yet. Well let me tell you a few things...she is my 15 month older sister and one of my best friends.
If i told you that i had the best childhood because of her you probably wouldn't believe me. Most people think that sisters fight all the time or are competitive with one another, maybe even jealous of each other...well not here! Me and my sis have been there for each other since i could remember. We were both born in Poland (the highlands to be exact) but raised in America. So you can imagine two little foreign girls in a mostly Latin neighborhood (back of the yards) trying to think we know how to speak English as well as the rest, lol...yea, we made up a lot of words.
Ania was my protector since i have been born. When i was learning how to potty train she let me push her off the toilet just so i could get on. When i was in 3rd grade and some kid whacked me with a 2 by 4 on the top of my head, she showed em who was boss. When i was afraid of the trick or treaters who wanted to spray shaving cream on us, she held my hand so we could both RUN LIKE HELL!! When i was too timid to place an order at McDonald's she slready knew what i wanted and ordered for me. When i had my heart broken for the first time, she wanted to kick that sorry boys ass, lol. When i ( well more like WE) got drunk for the first time and had such bad hangovers that we actually thought it was our last day on earth...she made sure Mom and Dad didn't find out. When i drove without a lisence, got arrested and gave the cop her lisence, she didn't even think twice about what i did and came to bail me out. When i decided to quit college and pursue my passion as a hairstylist, she was my number 1 client and still is my number 1 supporter of it. When i would have a bad fight with my boyfriend she was there listening to sad songs and cry with me. When i got married she became the world's best wedding planner (while having kids and a hubby to worry about...i truly wouldn't have had the wedding i did without her). And now thru my divorce, when i need her the most...she lives hundreds of miles away and still manages to be there in a matter of a second. Whether it is thru a text or phone call, or a package, she is my rock. I truly hope she knows how much she has helped me in my life. My sister is amazing in so many ways. I wish this little blog can express to her even a smidge of how much love and gratitude i have for her. Because honestly i don't even think words can do me justice right now. My brother-in-law is truly the luckiest man on earth to get to have what i had beside me for so many years. Cherish her my brotha...if you are reading this. So as if she hasn't done enough for me..i forgot to mention that she has given me two great gifts in life, my nephew Paul and my niece Nadia. I love you!!!
So this one' s for my sista!! For all that have a sister out there, if she has been to you what Ania has been to me...Tell her how you feel, because you never know when it can be too late. My sister had a cancer scare when she was 18...had a couple of surgeries and is just fine, but that was probably one of the worst times in my life. To see her in pain, was unexplainable. So i think to myself, that the stress i am going through now doesn't even compare to what she went through at those times. She makes me believe in myself like no other and with her by my side i will get through everything just fine...THANK YOU my darling ( did i mention how beautiful she is??) my "twin", my all. I LOVE YOU more than you will ever know
your little sister, KAS
