Last night was a big first for me.
My sister Pat and I met after work. I took her to see the lady who cuts my hair and we both got haircuts. It was fun. Trish, the lady who cuts my hair, seemed to enjoy it as Pat has the real kinky curly hair that I fight - she doesn't. So, when we left there Pat had curls everywhere and mine was straight as a stick.
We left there and went to dinner. Just the two of us.
I loved every minute of it.
See, Pat is a little older than I. 8 years to be exact. She got married when I was just ten, so we never really had a chance to get close like a lot of sisters do.
Life took us in different directions. She was a stay at home Mom for years and years. Taking care of all her boys and loving it. Me? A single Mom who has worked since my son was 15 months old - wishing I could stay home with my boy.
When our Mom had her stroke in 2003, she once again moved in with Pat and her family. And, Pat has taken care of her well. They take Mom to her needed doctor appointments and everything else. And, raising an 84 year old little ole Greek woman is not an easy task. Yet, Pat and her hubby have done this.
So, my little thank you to her was to treat her to a hair cut. Then she treated to dinner (it was cheaper so she made out!!!) (ohcome on...I am teasing!!). We sat and talked - and talked - and talked.
When I dropped her back at her car we hugged. I told her I love her. Because I do.
And, we have made plans to do this again.
I can't wait. :)
