Mentoring - or How I Learned to Sister

Dearest Sister has introduced me to The Sister Project, and she has introduced them to me (Easter 1959)!

TSP bloggers are very witty, articulate women who write exquisitely about sisterhood. I am still navigating the past three months of posts and they are all interesting and entertaining and most of them make me cry, many make me laugh.

I have written about my relationship with Dearest Sister here and here and she has written about our relationship here.

Much of what made us what we are today we learned from our other sisters. Two years apart with birthdays in May and June (just like DS and me) they were already in high school when I was born. When I came on the scene, DS was the sun around which the family revolved.

In this early family portrait, she is secure of her place in the center of things! (That is me trying to disrupt her place!)

As we grew up, we modeled the relationships that were most important to us.

We learned to lean on each other and to have fun together.

We travel together, but not as work. (although it was always our dream to follow that path and be half as glamorous!)

I am not sure if we learned eye rolling from them. It may be genetic. It certainly is a strong trait in the next generation!
