She is, without a doubt, my best friend. Even though we are ten years apart, we laugh, we carry on, we joke, we listen, we talk, and we get each other like we are a year apart. On top of it all, whenever I'm with Amy, people think I'm still in college like she is...or in high school like when she was. (Amy, remember that time we went to dinner when you stayed with me in Virginia and that guy asked us if we went to Chantilly High School?! That was nearly three years ago, folks. I'm not sure what that is saying about either of us, but it has always been like that.)
There is something so amazing about Amy and me. We just get each other, and it's such an incredible feeling. Amy is so easy to get along with. She's smart, funny, beautiful, and she is always up for whatever which makes for a ton of fun! Whether we tackle the adventure of Shrum Mound, which we did this weekend, or head to the movies to relax, which we also did this weekend, or get our nails done or go shopping or go to dinner or make dinner, all of which we did this weekend, we have fun! So much fun! We laugh, we joke, we talk, we laugh, and Brian gets to witness all of our silliness and goofiness and sisterly love! He laughs and jokes and talks and laughs too, of course, but I'm not sure if he laughs at us ... or with us! Either way, we all have fun!
It was so incredible to have Amy in town for the weekend! It was enlightening and a great dose of much needed ECF (East Coast Family) who I haven't seen in what feels like forever and have definitely been yearning for. We were definitely sad to see her go but happy to know that we will be back together again soon!
Amy, thanks for making the trip out to Cbus to visit! We miss you already! Love you, seester!
To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

I'm SO happy that you two are so close. And your quote is so wise. No one knows you like your brothers and sisters. I love you, Gram
