My parents are going through all of the photos and digitizing them. It has been so funny to look at the out dated outfits and hairdos. I asked my mom several times, "Why did you let me go out like that?" I can't help but think of how cool I thought I dressed. I have three older sisters and I wanted to wear whatever they were wearing. It didn't matter that the clothes were 4 sizes too big and that the hair style was far beyond my ability at the time to pull off. If my sisters were doing it, so was I!
There came a time where we were all able to share clothes and shoes. Even now that we are all grown, and live in different houses, one in a different State, we are still trading clothes and shopping in each others closets.
My sisters, and my mom, have become my closest friends. We are "the girls". I treasure all of our differences and similarities. We have many difference that would normally cause people to grow apart, but surprisingly it has strengthen us in many ways. Our differences have allowed us to learn how to love each other without conditions When we are together it is as if we can conquer any feminine issue the world can throw at us. We are our own "Red Tent" community. I love my "girls"!
