"An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, 

a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too." Pam Brown

"There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy. 

Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. 

The freedom to simply be themselves." Unknown
