Beloved, you are my sister, you are my daughter, you are my face; you are me.

Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth
To love and follow his direction?
...
Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow

Once you have a sister, you never stop having her, even if you can no longer see or touch her.

It's very difficult standing here blessed as her one and only sister. Yolanda, from your one and only, I thank you for being a sister and for being a friend.

Aye. Like knows like, sister

Your sister is the only true friend you'll ever have.

A sister is nagging and needling, whispers and whisperings, bribery and thumpings, borrowings, breakings, kisses and cuddlings, lendings, surprises, defendings and comfortings, welcoming home.

James — it's about your sister I wonder if you missed her I'm on my way to see you but I don't know what to bring Almost gave up the ghost, now you have what she wants most a little piece of heaven and a lovely song to sing.

She's got a sister / God only knows how I missed her / And on the palm of her hand is a blister
She's got a brother / We don't get on with one another / But I quite fancy her mother / And I think that she likes me
She's got one in the oven / But it's nothing to do with me"

And always remember how much your crazy sister loves you.

We love each other. We're siblings. She can basically do anything. Anything except for like, stabbing me.

I see now that you suffered by having me as your older sister. I’m sorry.

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double.

Please be your sister’s keeper, send the ladder down, extend a hand (a helping one, even a comforting one, will be most welcome).
