My sister

A wedding being prepared, we think of what really represents my sister and her fiance. He's currently deployed (as a Marine) in Afganistan, and should return shortly before the wedding. Calls made every three weeks or so, my sister can't get enough of him. They met when she was the sweet young age of 14, from then he knew he would marry her. We moved not long after, but they kept in touch. On her 18th birthday he really got talking to her again, they talked every single night. The glow of her cheeks got brighter every day! Over summer we had driven to California where his base was, and we spent a few days with Max and his buddies. My sister Rebecca didn't want to leave.. this was when Max told her that he loved her... and we all knew she loved him too. For her senior prom, Max came up to Washington where we lived, and took her to the dance. From that young age that we knew him, he became a great man and I couldn't have chosen a better man to marry her. These two are so in love.. you could see it without even knowing them. My sister Becca is the brightest young woman, so funny, so full of life, so thoughtful. Most girls are full of drama.. don't know what they want. But, Becca's kept her standards high and has become someone that everyone wants to be around. I'm her bridesmaid, lady in waiting, and planning her bridal shower; and I couldn't be any happier. My friends told me that they thought it was kind of weird to be so close with my whole family.. but something like that is hard to find. We are all best friends.. and I would choose my family over anyone else any day. Having fun and laughing is just part of who we are. Without laughter, what would life be? I would do anything for my family. I support my sister when it gets to that three week mark and she hasn't heard from Max. He just called, and she's back to her happy-go-lucky self. She is truly an inspiration of what I would like to become myself one day.
