Bev and Denise
You often see signs, plaques and posters with sayings like My Sister, My Best Friend. My sister and I have had our ups and downs. The downs have been few and the ups have been often. There is no one I can talk with like I can talk with her. We laugh until we cry and we cry until we can laugh. We know what the other one is thinking and we know what the other one needs. We can step on each others words and sometimes feelings but it's okay because we know we are safe.
We have been known as Thelma and Louise, Lucy and Ethel and Laverne and Shirley. We have been asked to leave unless we can pull ourselves together. We have been stared at, laughed at and once someone even refused to go out with us.(We didn't want him with us anyway) We fought as teenages and now we fight for each other. We support each other even if we know we are wrong. That's because we can. It's as simple as that.
We both lived in the same city for years. We would often see two sisters walking around the neighbor. We watched them from middle age to old age. They always wore the same cloths, carried the same purse and parted their hair on the same side. We would always turn to each other when we saw them on the street and just give a look a knowing look, no words where necessary. They where are role models. That's what we are going to be like. Someday we will dress a like, carry the same purse, where our hair the same and we decided we will walk the same type of dog too. We will be inseparable. We already are. We've made it though childhood together, through boyfriends, husbands, kids, dogs and now grandchildren. Our relationship has out lived any other relationship that we have had and it always will. We understand each other where far few would look deep enough. So we can laugh and get out a hand after all we are Sisters and more than that we are Best Friends.
