Lil Sis Heading Off to College


Back in the late 80s, when my bangs were spiked a mile high and I had braces, the dynamics of our family was drastically changed with a new addition. My little sister, Paige, was born. She spent most of her life being spoiled, teased, protected, and bossed by her teenage siblings. That isn't exactly a fun way to live life, but her positive attitude, desire to please, and tender feelings often got her exactly what she wanted.


Years passed, siblings moving on to new lives and our parents getting divorced left her alone with mom. Sometimes, she enjoyed the freedom of very few eyes watching her, but overall she has been the easiest teenager of all times. Tomorrow, it is now her turn to leave the nest. She'll be heading off half way across the country to Sam Houston State University in Texas. Knowing her, she will be shedding many tears and missing mom like crazy. I guess my parents kept having kids hoping for a sentimental one and it took 5 tries.


Well, my little sister is definitely growing up. Given the fact that I was 14 when she was born, this day makes me feel REALLY old. She doesn't have to worry though; I will always see her as the little one, who needs lots of advice (the bossy kind). Isn't that the role of the older sister?


BTW - Paige - if you read this, you should know that if you would have sent me a copy of the graduation pictures I keep hearing about, I wouldn't have posted an old baby picture...
