Yesterday was my little sister's 30th birthday (how did that happen?) but I didn't have time to blog about it.

She and I are like chalk and cheese at times.

She is tall, slim and beautiful... and quite frankly I am not, but I adore her in so many different ways. She can be a pain in the backside... like she will not acknowledge that I am always right. She is a terrible cheat and playing Monopoly with her is an event few will repeat. She is extremely competitive and loves winning and her love of sport to manage her emotions is well known amongst her friends. She is gorgeous, fun to be with and if she gets a fit of the giggles it can take a while for her to pull herself together. If we both get the giggles together it is a bit of a nightmare.

Her obsession with keeping her hair curly and the fact she spends all her time scrunching it up when it is wet really irritates me. There is only one thing that irritates me even more than the hair thing and it is the fact that she will ALWAYS leave some toothpaste in the sink when she has finished brushing her teeth. She is a great driver, but a lousy navigator. She is much more Godly than me and she is more conservative in her views. She cannot spell for toffee and her writing is almost as illegible as our Dad's.

She cannot hold her drink these days, although in the past she was much more hardcore. As Dad can testify when he went out in the middle of the night to town to find her when she was about 16 - I was already tucked up in bed by that time, as I was so drunk I couldn't stay awake! Although I do remember desperately trying to act sober when Dad came into our bedroom to ask me where she was.

Louise and I might argue at times, we have our issues, but for me blood will always be thicker than anything else. She has had a rough few years and life is now being good to her, something I am so grateful for. I love her to pieces and cannot imagine my life without her. I know I have been a complete bitch to her at times but I adore her and who she is. I miss her when I am not with her, and yet when we are together we wind each other up. What I do know is that I can rely on her totally and I love her very, very much.

So, my darling Louise. I love you, I miss you and thank you for being such a wonderful sister.
