Happy Birthday Big Sis
@kiwideb
Of a sister that really cares
She put up with quite a lot
Over many many years
Maybe I was an after thought
She looked after me often
And we never ever fought
I was sent to live with her
She didn't have a choice
As Mother left with Sir
A mother in an instant
But how to deal with Andrea
Who was no longer an infant
I wasn't really the devil 😈
But head strong I was
And a little bit of a rebel
Going night clubbing and then
Parties with the Leo's
Swinging hammocks and men
All over Wellington city
When I ventured out on my own
It was very much a pity
And for what you continue to do
Bet you're glad I don't have pics
So I can't embarrass you 😜
I couldn't love you more 💔
I don't say it often
But I mean it that's for sure!!

Your poem is a perfect birthday present for your sister!!! What a special relationship you must have - and wow - a mother in an instant! I could see how that might tear a relationship apart - but I'm glad that it made you closer and more appreciative of one another! I love getting this glimpse into your life, my dear friend! You NEED to give each other a hug and pretend at least one of them is me hugging the both of you ehehehehe
We sure had some interesting times together :)

(And thanks for not sharing all the embarrassing tales from our misspent youth! Not that anyone would believe them of either of us. Oh darn, yes, they would, they've seen our truth and lies posts.)
Save those stories for our RV trip!! Lol
You're lucky that my memory is bad - I thought the hammock mention might get a smile from you lol
Yes, it did raise a smile.
Now I need to know what the hammock story is!!
Embarrassing tales are the best tales! ;P
The hammock story was actually quite tame. Andy and I lived in a big house in Wellington's Aro Street, with about 4 flatmates. One of them was a member of the Leos (young Lions) and we used to party with them quite often. Usually at our place as it was central and big, but sometimes at others. This particular occasion was at the home of a sweet young couple, and they had a hammock strung up in the back porch. I think I went and lay in it first, then one by one others came and joined me, till we had quite few people jammed into it. It was stretched beyond recognition and the sweet young couple were not best pleased. See, tame as... Anyway, that's how I remember it and if Andy remembers different, she'll be first to say her memory isn't the best ;-)
hehehehehe ruined the hammock!!!
Not my fault! I was on the bottom. Oh, I guess that means it was MY bottom that ruined it...
ROFL!!!
That's your side of the story and you're sticking with it, eh Deb? So funny!!!
That's how I remember it, and memory is infallible, as we all know :-}
lol... Ok! Tame enough indeed. Is that how it really happened, @andysantics48 ? ;P
It was a good night to say the least - the details are a bit....... blurry hehe
Happy birthday to your sister hehe. Thanks for sharing. I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold. Happy Easter 2018.
Happy Easter right back at ya :D
Hey Joey, thanks for the birthday wishes and Happy Easter. As a birthday favour, I'd love it if you would upvote my sister's post that you commented on here. She’s way too nice to mention your oversight herself. And while you're about it, maybe go upvote @stephmckenzie who upvoted your comment on her post. If you don’t mind a word of advice, you might not know that your history is available for all to see at https://steemd.com/@joeyarnoldvn – anyone who visits it can see you haven’t upvoted anybody for a while (ever?) but have been commenting like mad. This is considered bad manners here, and it doesn’t appear that it’s been working well for you. Try following some people, and doing some upvoting and you might see a change.
I believe in capitalism. And I believe in the freedom of choices. You can make up labels if you want. You can say that I have bad manners. That may or may not be true. But more importantly, you may also be saying all of that from a perspective of subjectivity, relativity as opposed to eternal objectivity.
I didn't say that it was bad manners. I said that it's considered bad manners here. My perception (which of course may be wrong) is that you are working hard by commenting a lot, but not getting a lot of return for it. I suggested some ways you might have better success. Do with that what you will.
