today i am grateful that i inherited three amazing sisters by marriage. growing up i felt terribly left out that i had only brothers and no sisters. i even tried making it a requirement that matt dress up like i girl if he wanted to play with me and my friends when he and i were about 4 and 8 respectively (i had little success in this). what i didn’t realize is that i just had to wait another 28 or so years to get my first of three sisters-in-law. now all three of them are very dear to me and i am so very lucky they are in my life.
