Oh no...that bittersweet feelin again...

So...it is late and I should be asleep but instead feel like sobbing my eyes out.  I do not care how old I get...how tired I am...how many days in a row we've been together...how ready she may be to get to her house...how sick she may be of me...it is NEVER easy to say goodbye to my baby sister, JoMeagan.

I think it would be an understatement to say I love her soooo much.  I wish for her to move back one day.  I know I treat her like she is still a kid...she loves it. Ha  I love her so much that I named my little girl after her.  I think Chloe Jo needs her here as much as I do.

My baby sister brings me comfort.  I have much affection for her because she has always loved me for exactly who I am.  In some ways we are alike but mostly VERY different...because I could never be as wonderful as she is.

I have certainly enjoyed the extra time over Christmas and am proud of the woman she has become.  I know it's time for her to get back to her own family and home but man do I feel anxious about seeing her go.

I love you, Jo.

Now I'll have a little fun here...at her expense to lighten my spirits...lol!
JoMeagan is...
quiet
reserved
 modest
 intelligent
extremely neat, grossly organized
practices healthy eating habits...like sunflower seeds in  her salad...haha
drinks way too much water
cooks well
extreme perfectionist on projects
 has an insane posture
her dog is bigger than my house
hard-working
answers questions with one word unlike me who can never make a long story short
a deep-thinker
Great eye for decorating
Strong faith
I believe her Loyalty is one her best qualities
Not so much touchy-feely like me but will hug me:)
Her teeth are crazy straight because of her whole teeth regimen
Ironed her money as a kid...no lie
Somehow doesn't like country music
Has strange eating patterns
Prefers food not touching on her plate
She is the person to tell secrets to...because she keeps them
Loves a great Christmas movie
List maker...and doesn't forget to take her list to the store...lol
Cat lover
 Survivor
Great writer
Prefers somewhere besides a sunny beach
Married to a wonderful guy named Wes:)
Always calls me or texts me...especially during DWTS and Bachelor/Bachelorette...not the same without it!
On Saturday mornings she texts me...what's going on with you this morning?
Listener
Probably the favorite...and for many more reasons other than the ones I've listed here...Lol

 I can't help that I want her here.  As I have gotten older, and have experienced the loss of my grandparents in recent years, I just want to hold my family close.  I feel emotional about tomorrow as she will be heading back home.  Sometimes I just don't want her to be grown-up.

The scary part is thinking one day I will have to do this with my own.  I really am too old for this.
