There are siblings all over the world who have to experience their older brother or sister going off to college. In my experience, my other half left to college. My sister and I were the original two sisters of the house for twelve years. After those twelve years a brother and a sister starting living in our house, something totally and completely new for my sister and I. But, for those twelve years together of just us together is something I would never want to replace. When it was just us, I used to think that it was us against the world, the sisters. She was and still is my best friend.

The night she left for college I did not cry because I was half asleep, yet now and then my eyes become shiny because I think of my best friend living so far away. She is the person I would turn to when I was down. She would cook some food for me when I was hungry. She was, yet still is, my second mother and my best friend. Side by side or miles apart, sisters like us stay close to the heart.
