Here's a collection of sister quotes that illustrate undeniably one of the most meaningful relationships that women can form with another being.

Allies, partners in crime, rivals...

I have two younger sisters.

We fought, we patched up. We laughed at jokes that no one can understand. We said some of the meanest things to each other. We defended each other when others won't. We did some of the silliest things together and there's so many stories to be recalled when we are together.

Through some of the harshest times, we became muted to one another. Yet through it all, the coldness will eventually thaw and melt away and we're right back to where we've left it, that is, like nothing has ever been missing...
