This is my little sister, not in a biological sense, but blood could not make us any closer. We met when she was only 14 and I was 17. Since then, we have often been confused as sisters. We immediately took a liking to one another and have been inseparable since. She has been through more hardships than a person that young should have to endure. I have been there with her through almost every one. Holding her while we cry together, giving her a ride whenever she needed, offering advice or help whenever I could, and doing whatever I could to help her through a rough journey. In describing our relationship, it sounds very one-sided but this is not true at all. I have learned so much from Heather. She really has had an influence on the person I am today.
