My Role Model and I
I have many role models in my life. My mom, my dad, and my siblings will be my forever inspiration. There is one person that is my primary role model, my sister Clare. She has always been there for me in good and bad times. Some people aren't really close with their siblings, but I am lucky. And I am blessed that I have someone like her to look up to. Clare got married two days ago, and I have had many mixed emotions about it. I was of course happy for her, but I was also sad. I was sad because she is my only sister, and now that she is married, she has a new forever best friend. I know that the memories that we shared together will never fade away but it still makes me feel all types of emotions!
Sometimes it is hard being the youngest of so many kids because I get the pleasure seeing them make mistakes, live the life they were given, growing into a young adult. They move out, they get married and have kids. It is beautiful to be a part of some of those things don't get me wrong, but sometimes it still makes me feel sad inside. Clare has been reminding me that she is not leaving me which reassures me. However, I know that some things will also change. As I've been recognizing this, I have also been figuring out that this is all just a part of life. We all have to grow up some time right?!
Clare has taught me that sometimes the people you love the most will disappoint you but the love that you hold for that person will never go away. We are all human beings and we make mistakes. No one is perfect and no one can come close to it. She has taught me that when someone you love makes a mistake it is okay, because no one is perfect. Just because you look up to someone doesn't mean that they can't ever make mistakes, that would not be fair to them. She has taught me that forgiveness is the only thing you can do to move on. She has also taught me that it may take a while to forgive that person, but once you do forgive them you will feel free of all of the things you were holding on your shoulders. You will be free.
My role model and I have had many fun memories together that I will be thankful for forever. Clare is my best friend and my secret keeper. She is my protector and my supporter. Clare is kind, she is beautiful, and she has about the biggest heart ever. I will forever be grateful that God gave me a sister like Clare. If you have siblings, I'd suggest to hold on tight, because life changes and it goes by fast!
What a live we get to live. Enjoy it,
Maggie
