Sister act

My sister Alice came to visit this weekend. It's always so great to see her, I feel replenished in a very distinct way whenever I get to spend time with her. Even though we've lived away from one another for over a decade, we've always been a constant for one another, so it's important for me to be able to check in with her face to face, it has an incredibly balancing effect on me. I don't know who I'd be with out her and I hope I don't need to find out anytime soon! ;)
The main reason for her visit was to attend our dad's graduation. He got his first college degree and I know I speak for our entire family when I say how proud I am of him! My sister stayed with me, and we got to spend a lot of quality time together while she was here. We had a family style dinner with my mom, had drinks with our other sister and some old friends, went to a karaoke birthday party and participated in the MS walk. I'm so glad she was able to come out, I feel like she's been able to help me through some stuff and I feel I've really turned a corner, thanks to her unwavering support. She left Sunday evening and my mom and I had a great dinner and I was able to convince her to come to karaoke at the twilight exit with me! So fun....
