My Sister, My Best Friend

My sister is my best friend in the whole world. I really hate that she lives so far away from me. It really makes me sad to know that she's 8 hours away from me.
 I remember shopping with my sister. She used to work at the Broadway at Del Amo mall in California. She is the wonderful person that started my love for shoes!!!! Lol (I so love a good pair of shoes.) I can't remember how it happened, but somehow my sister signed me up to be in a fashion show there. I wore a red dress that had pockets on the front. One of them had a mouse on the pocket with I think some books under it. When we were done, a couple of the girls and I thought we were supposed to go back to the room we changed in, so we missed the "bow" at the end. Oops
 When she got married, I wasn't just a flower girl either. I had a big girl dress and was called a bridesmaid. Of sorts. Lol She was the best!!!! We still had our shopping days too. She bought me my first pair of Sasoons and Jordache jeans!!!! She took me to a mall once that had a skating rink and I got to go skating after lunch! The drives we would take, it was great.
  Her husband LOVED racing. He would always go to the Ascot race track in Gardena, CA. So, almost every Saturday, he was there filming the races. I always liked to go when I could. It was fun!! My favorite sprint car was a florescent green one and I got his autograph once!! The best times to go was always for the race around the 4th of July. FIREWORKS BABY!!!! (I think all of us kids got the LOVE of fireworks from our mom. Lol) Then there were some Saturdays that she wouldn't go and she would come hang out with me and mom and dad. Those time were awesome too!! Shopping and dinner with the 3 of us girls, EPOCH!! Sometimes my dad would go, but it was rare. Our favorite place to eat in the mall was a Greek place. Armo's Kabob. SOOOOOOOOO Yummy!!!!!
  When dad passed and mom moved us up here, she stayed in CA with her husband. We came back for our first Christmas and I got to go to Disneyland with her. It was great, til it started to rain on us. Lol It was Lake Disney when we went to get in the car. A few years later, the 2 ended up moving to UT with us. I had my sister again!! When I got pregnant with Jonathan, she was mad, angry and hurt. They had tried for kids with no luck. Mom told her to put all that anger and feelings into the baby. She was there when he was born. (Now that's a story for another time.)
  When mom passed, the whole family just fell apart, but she was there for me. I was pregnant with my 4th kid. When my marriage fell apart, she was there for me. When my husband passed away, she was there for me. Now that my life has started to come back together, she's still there for me. And I know she will be there for me for years to come too
