My sisters...

..led the way.   They were the leaders.   I was the follower.  They tolerated me.  I tormented them.  They took the brunt of our parent's rath.  I avoided the landmines they exposed.  They were cool.  I was a dork.  They took the blame for things I had done.  They took the scraps of affection from my parents that fell from the my plate of my accomplishments.  They suffered from social pains and hardships.  I skated through life with hardly a scratch.  They never gave up.  NEVER gave up.  They didn't always have the cheerleaders in their corner but I certainly loved them.  More so now.  I hope they've forgiven me my childish ways.  I hope they know that I love them.  I couldn't have asked for better sisters.  "Suz" and Steph, I love you more than you know!!
