Sisters, Best Friends and Worst Enemies

It is amazing to me how these two can be the best of friends one minute and the next, they are the worst of enemies. It changes on a dime, a whim, a change in the air, a millisecond. It is unbelievable and it drives me CRAZY!!!

I was getting ready to take some pictures for Josh's sister down by her house. As we were waiting, I snapped some of these picture of the girls. I watched them as they played and then tried to beat each other to death, then giggled and laughed and then went back to pulling hair.

I don't know why their Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personalities were bothering me so much that day. I sat there and thought, "You two are best friends, STOP kicking the crap out of each other!". Then I remembered, 2 sisters who were the exact same way.

Amy and I are the same distance apart as these 2 are. I mean within a week of the same distance apart. We are 2 years and nine months apart and so are my little hellions. I remembered hating Amy when I was a kid. She was very mean to me and picked on me, on a regular basis. I don't think people believe me when I say that, probably for 2 reasons. Number one, Amy is so sweet and kind and very passive... NOW. Number two, not many people believe that I would have let someone beat me up and not retaliate. Clearly, personalities change.

I could write stories on here about Amy that would make people think I was lying, because surely someone so sweet, never could have done something like that. I look at Chloee and Halle and I know that one day, they will be the best of friends. I know that day will not come until they are older and probably married. I know that they will call each other and cry about their latest struggle and the other will listen and understand. I know that they will be able to be themselves 100% around each other and that they will be able to make each other laugh when no one else can. I know that you have to go through the hell of growing up together to truly appreciate the friendship you'll have later on.

I know that one day, they will be best friends. I KNOW this because I have it with my sister, Amy. I am so grateful for her and for the friendship we have. Sisters sometimes are the worst of enemies but years down the road, they become the best of friends.
