Sisters are special. Sisters are friends. They laugh at jokes that no
one else really understands. Sisters share memories of smiles and tears.
They share the same parents, pets, and silliness. They share the
holidays.
Sisters walk together through life, through death, through common bonds
and sad farewells. They become aunts and great aunts to each others
children and grandchildren. They watch each other grow older, struggle,
and succeed.
There is no other relationship in the world quite like the one shared by sisters.
Often we go too long without telling those we love what they mean to us.
Time flies, it seems too mushy, or we just forget. We find our own
lives cluttered with more 'important' issues, we move away, or we work
too hard and become too tired.
Today I celebrate you Ijayekunle Toyin Gideon-Abidoye.
Temitope, you are next.
