Friends, classmates, and acquaintances come and go, but a sister is forever.
Who else understands all of your quirks and obsessions? Who else knows exactly why you can't stand the smell of popcorn, or why you can't even look at tequila without feeling nauseous?
The bond between sisters is intense and long-lasting, especially if you happen to get pregnant at the same time like these four sisters!
I can go for weeks without talking to my little sister, but when we do, it's like we never skipped a beat. And she doesn't care that I loud-talk into the phone, either.

Some have hidden meanings, while some are just heartwarming examples of the special love that sisters share with one another.
