SISTERS

I never really appreciated the idea of having sisters as opposed to just being friends. This weekend at Relay for Life, it kind of sunk in for me that these girls are really here for me. My grandma was a victim of breast cancer and passed away when I was in second grade. At Relay, I lit a luminary in her honor. I didn't even get teary until I dropped my glow stick into her paper bag when I lost it. It kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. It was so comforting when 2 girls from my chapter came up to me and gave me a hug that I definitely needed at that moment. These girls don't even know the whole story of my grandma and her battle with cancer. They have only known me for a quarter! It was awesome to know that these girls, my new friends and sisters, were really there for me when I was upset, and not only when I'm happy and wanting to have fun. It was a great feeling :)
