A long time ago, I started to dedicate specific posts to each of my sisters and I never finished. Now to B: She was a wonderful little girl, so adorable and I loved to dress her up, play around with exotic styles in her hair and she always sat still for me, even if it took an hour or more to craft a new 'do.
As she got older and I was frequently away for months at a time, she would always cry as I said goodbye and made me feel so loved. She also made quite a bundle on me, as there were also many times I had to bribe her not to tell on me. A smart businesswoman already!
Once she became a young woman, our relationship changed from sisters to friends and she came to party with me in Miami, stayed with me for a week in Oxford, and has spent hours on the phone with me over the years.
Now, we are finally living in the same city and she has been the most helpful friend in my new situation. Not only did she pick us up from the airport when we arrived in Vancouver, she's also let us stay with her for days on end, found a bunch of free stuff to fill our apartment, and even drove the gigantic rental truck home so we wouldn't have to.
She's a capable, smart career woman who has thrived in a mostly-male field and has pursued her career advancement with courage and determination. She is finishing up a four year drafting degree and has already networked her way to being noticed by some of the business names in the business here in Vancouver.
During the riots of my wedding, we couldn't pick up my flowers anymore. I put B. in charge of getting more and, without me even being there, she was able to find exactly what I wanted and nix any I wouldn't.
It will be exciting to share this city with her in the years ahead.
