I met my sister when she was 9 and I was 11. We each had very annoying brothers (they have since improved enormously) and decided the very day we met that we had to get her mother and my father married as soon as possible. We actually spent the day scheming to get it done and felt quite smug when a few short months later the wedding happened. We learned years later that we weren't even introduced until the relationship between our parents was well underway but for a time we felt all-powerful.
From that day forward, my sister has been a gift in my life; a co-conspirator against the sibs and a best friend.
We attended college on opposites coasts - I went to the state of Washington for college and she went to Maine - and remained on opposite coasts as we built our lives and careers. At one point, we went 5 years without seeing each other but never lost the "sister link".
A few months ago, my sister called and said she applied for a job in California. I tried not to be hopeful in case it didn't work out but the chance of having my sister and her family within driving distance for the first time in 30 years made it hard to tamp down hope.
Today my husband and I are driving a mere one hour to spend the afternoon with my sister and her family at their new California home. 51 miles versus 3000 miles. My best friend is now local. I'll bet we get in trouble again for whispering and giggling at the dinner table.
