Sisters are forever friends

I just got done reading a saying "Sisters are forever friends." And it reminded me of a conversation I had with you, when you were wanting a "real" friend. When I read that, it brought tears to my eyes, because of the truth, but also of regret. I sometimes forget that with sisters and family they will always be there, we have a tie and a bond, that no friend could even begin to understand, but it gets taken for granted, and even sometimes forgotten. I can't take back that I wasn't the best of friend, but I can begin to plant the seed, and begin taking care of it, and doing all that I can to insure it grows to what it should be. I can also stand in hope with you for that real friend, the one who thinks of you first and not an after thought, the one who holds you to the real treasure you are, the way I see you. I can also say with my whole heart, that you never are forgotten, I know how much you care, and you give of yourself, sometimes so much, that you get taken advantage of. I'm going to begin praying that you will get an over pouring blessings from those around you, and you will always know that people see all the things you do, not for your own credit, but because you genuinely care. I know how you put your heart into everything you do, how you love with no conditions, how you give with no attachments, in everything you do you shine, and you give it your best. You amaze me, and teach me, you show me God's giving love. I'm proud of you, I'm so very thankful for you as a sister, as a friend. I can say that God has good things for you, he always sees the heart, when others fail to see, he does, He doesn't forget or pass you by, He's waiting to give you the greatest gifts you will ever receive.
He sees when you stayed, when you loved, and when you gave, even when we have missed it. I may not see everything, but I see who you are, a good daughter, a good wife, a great sister, and a true friend, and I love you so much, Katie. People are so blessed to have you in their lives, and I just pray that you begin to really see that. Not by just words, but by actions.
