My sister and I are 14 months apart, so there was no doubt that we would grow up talking the same, listening to the same music and wearing each other’s clothes. Now that I have 2 daughters of my own, who are pretty much 2 years apart, I am just now starting to see the start of an amazing bond.
If I had to choose one thing that is amazing about having a sister, I don’t think I could do it. There are too many wonderful attributes to count! Here are my 10 reasons why having a sister rules!
- You have an unconditional love for one another. You might fight like cats and dogs one day, but then you are back to being besties the very next day.
- You understand each others “looks” and “languages”. My sister and I used to have funny sayings and words for things when we were growing up…some of them even stuck until now. We can also just look at each other and know what we are thinking.
- You can share clothes (hopefully!). Luckily we are similar in build, so we can actually share each others tops, bottoms and shoes!
- Who else can you talk about your other family members to in confidence that they won’t repeat what you say?!
- Even if you haven’t talked to each other in days, weeks or months, you can still pick up like no time has passed at all.
- You help each other in times of need….love, finance, life goals…no one has your back like your sister, even if they don’t agree with your choices.
- You trust no one with your children but them! A sister just knows you and your crazy ways of doing things. You make them your children’s godparents and protectors.
- You never want to see them hurt or unhappy. You protect your sister like a mama bear and no one will hurt them or bring them to tears.
- You influence each other: to work out more, eat better, or get out of the house more. You’re having the most fun with them when you enjoy life events together.
- You can’t imagine your world without them. They are your blood, sweat and tears. Your bond will last forever. You are sisters for life and no one will take that away from you.
I look forward to the day that these kids realize how much they love and need each other. They are forever united in life. They are forever each others best friend.

If only everyone had a sister to talk to. That includes brothers
Very true!!
My brother and I are 14 months apart, and we’re very close. We didn’t share clothes, but God help anyone (including our parents) if they csme after one of us. The other was never very far.
Good for you guys! It makes for a great bond 🙂
Yes!! 5, 8, & 10 especially! I love my sisters 🙂
For sure! My sister is everything and she’s the one I can completely let loose with and be silly but yet share my deepest feelings.
Yeah for sisters! 🙂
No sisters for me. I have a little brother. We might not have been as close growing up but we would ultimately do anything for each other.
Well that certainly is a good thing!
Sharing clothes is definitely the best part of having a sister haha!
I agree!
I’m an only child, but as I was reading this my best friend came to mind! I’ve always said we aren’t blood sisters b/c we would have been too much for any one set of parents to handle.
Awww, I love that! 😉
