Today is my sister’s 25th birthday. It’s a big milestone as it marks the first quarter of her life. Leigh (or Nicole, as we call her in our family) has been my best friend for the last 25 years (officially now) and I don’t think my life would be the same without her. In this post, I’m listing the top 50 reasons why I love her. 🙂

It’s like half of the recollections from my youth are stored in my mind and half in yours.
3. I love you because we get to share friends; my friends are yours and your friends are mine.

What a sweet post! I don’t know if I could come up with 50 things I loved about my own sibling. I DO love her, but hell I don’t think I could come up with 50 things I love about myself. This post will earn you some major brownie points with your sister.
Aww this is so sweet. I wish I feel the same way with my sister – but we don’t get on. It so nice you guys do regular activities together. xx
What a wonderful tribute to your sister. My sister lives about 1200 miles away and I miss her and my nieces and nephew a lot. Sisters definitely have a special bond. HAHA and we’re still partners in crime, too!
Oh, Achi bert its a very touching expressions on how you LOVE your sister I’m proud of you
Love you too achi bert
It’s so nice that you have such a great relationship with your sister. There are so many things you have in common and enjoy together. Thanks for inviting us in your world.
Your relationship with your sister reminds me of how I feel about my own. Having a sister as a best friend is a blessing! Happy Birthday to your sister.
This is so sweet. I do not have a sister but I do love and appreciate my brother. It is so refreshing to see that siblings can love each other and that you respect so much your sister. She must be really proud of you.
Ahhh, you guys are so cute. You should tell her 50 reasons you love her every day. A great sister is so important. My brother is helping me with Photoshop right now and I don’t think we would be where we are with our website without his help. Family is so important.
What a treasured gift you have with your relationship that you and your sister share. I am thinking of doing a list like this for my BFF! I love her like a sister and this has inspired me!
Thank you for sharing. I was brainstorming sentiments for my sister on her 50th birthday, and found your post. My name is Leigh Nicole, so I love your list even more! 🙂
This is the cutest blog, brought me to tears. I have only one sibling, my sister. It was like you were looking inside my heart. It is the most beautiful feeling to have someone in the world you love so much. I wish your sister a very happy birthday!!!!🎈
[…] Whenever I get in trouble, my sister always tries to defend me, even though she knows she’s on the losing side sometimes. She sticks up for me and she even takes the blame sometimes or shares it. […]
