My Little Sister

My sister was my childhood partner. The only one in the world that shares the dearest memories with me. When our parents were going through a divorce it was her and I that stuck together. She is 4 years younger than me, which felt like a big gap at some ages. From when she was born up until the age of 6 she was my cute little sister, but when I started secondary school she became my annoying little sister and we would have countless fights ending up with shoes thrown out the window or yogurt on her head..and of course, both grounded.

This August makes it 4 years since I found out I was pregnant, and since my sister and I were born the same month, she is the exact age I was when I became pregnant. It is a really strange feeling. I still see her as my baby sister and it makes me realise how young I really was.
I remember going to get my GCSE results, dreading the fact that I would be starting college pregnant. My sister got her results yesterday and just about got straight A's, I feel so happy and so proud of her.

I think usually in families where a daughter becomes a teenage parent it is extremely rare that any younger siblings will fall into the same thing. Maybe it's because they see how much their sister struggles, they get to see first hand how difficult it is to have a baby. Regardless, I knew my sister wouldn't make the same mistakes as me.

I love my sister to bits, even though she had to deal with the emotional strain I put on my mum when I told her I was pregnant, my sister has never blamed me for anything and instead has been very supportive.

I can't believe it's been a whole 4 years since I made the life changing decision to have a baby. So much has happened but I'm finally where I want to be and I feel like my life is back on track.
