Big Sister, Little Sister... Which one's better?

I often look at this picture and realize that there is something to the Oldest/youngest birth order. I Love this picture. Growing up as a middle child I always threw out the middle child card. That's probably a characteristic of the middle child. And that's okay!

But, what I do know is

No matter what order you were born, no matter where you fall

Your family is there through it all!!

No matter if your the oldest sister

or the youngest sister--

What matters is that you have a sister!!!

There's really no relationship that compares to it.

Great picture and poem!

Crap - I totally spaced off your birthday. How is it being double 3's? Am I going to have a mental breakdown in a few months?
