“Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with 

a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who 

sees  you at your worst and best, and loves you 

anyway. 

She is your partner in crime, your midnight 

companion, someone who knows when you are 

smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your 

defense attorney, your personal press agent, even 

your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish 

you were an only child.” 

― Barbara Alpert
