Im back after a very long hiatus from my blog, many have asked what happened, and well my laptop died, and I reverted back to the ice age for almost a year with no personal PC or Internet. I know. Im glad to be back and share bits and pieces of my life with those who read or follow my blog. I figure when im long gone, at least there will be some documentation of my life, like receipes, funny stories, thoughts, and just stuff at the current moment.
As you may know I have two younger sisters, Jackie and Crystal. I love my sisters and words cant decribe how I love them but i'll make my best effort.
Today, im going to write about Crystal.
Aaaaah Crystal, nicknamed "Wito" because when Jackie was a toddler she couldn't pronounce "Crystal" . a name, or term of endearment thats stuck with her even today. Crystal is the middle sister, and from what I once heard remains true the middle child has a tendancy to want ot fix everything, problems and all.
The name Crystal actually really fits my sister. Shes brilliant, beautiful, admirable, and worthy to be showcased. To me there isnt and there will never be another Crystal just like her.
Crystal joined the Airforce when she was 17 years old, practically begged my parents to sign for her to join bootcamp. About four months later Crystal had finally graduated and become an Airmen in the U.S Airforce, a prestigous, and high honor, both in the military and in our family. Over the last 7 years, Crystal has has traveled several parts of the world, has completed her orders in Arizona, California, and has now moved on to the Eastcoast, a far move from home, the west coast of the U.S. Crystal has also spent time in Afghanistan as part of the war on terror, and praise God has made it home safe to tell about it. She has recognized several times for her achievements with the Airforce, including her new title of Staff Sgt.
Each year Crystal makes me more and more proud of her , and I feel so honored to be her sister. Crystal is such a unique soul, and everytime I spend time with her, I can see why God loves her so. He made her this uncommon beauty, with a humerous spirit. She's got a passion for classic rock, and also a common love we both share now, MAKE UP! Ever since I can remember she always made us laugh, dancing ridiculously to music, distorting her face to make us smile, even when the mood is sour Crystal manages to force us to crack a big ass smile on our faces.
More importantly Crystal is also a sweet spirited person, with a humble and caring heart. She is the first to extend her helping hand to somone in need, including myself. She has been my rock in some very difficult situations, and together we have gotten each other through grave, dark times. She has been the one to lift me out of the pit more times than I can count.
Crystal... I know you will read this, so I just to say every word I said is true. I am SO proud of you, and I love you so much words can't describe. I know you will do GREAT things. I know its lonely out there in D.C, but I have faith in God that things will start turning around. I know God has an amazing plan for you, and I know its going to be something that you will never expect. I feel both lucky, and unworthy to be your sister, you are a rare gem. I cant wait to see you soon! I leave you with a classic "Crystal" photo.
