The rough draft of my essay

This is a picture of my sisters and me.  This will probably be the last gathering of us for a long time.  It was taken back in 2001 at my wedding shower.  Since then couple of us don’t talk to each other at all.  It’s unfortunate that we are not together again as sibling of four.  This picture brings a lot of happy memories to me, I see that we were happy and enjoying each other company as well with friends.   By looking at this picture there was a lot of sisterly love between us during this gathering. My sister's were in my wedding so that was nice to see us together and sharing the memories of my wedding with them. We all were getting along great.  We talked about our familes how the kids are growing up so fast, and wishing mom and dad were here to see them become adults. 

I would think any outsider that saw this picture would think that we are very happy family.  But deep inside their were some friction between us.  Like I said we were civil to one another to make my day a happy wedding shower event.  

There is an age difference between us, my older sister is 62, and after her I have sister that is 58 and then my twin sister and I we are 55 years young,  felt sorry for my father having four girls in a three bedroom and one bathroom but we seem to manage.   I’m very close to my older sister Juliette, the one that is giving me a kiss on my cheek.  Our kids are about the same age so we had a lot in common.  My brother-in-law always told me I was his favorite sister-in-law.  They live down in Southern California and its been 5 years since I seen them.  Hope to see them soon. 

During family gatherings I was the one to bring the family together.  We had so much fun together during the holidays, picnics, and just having fun with each other.  We had a family night out meaning my sisters and their husband and kids to have pizza at our favorite place.  This pizza place we started taking our kids too was when they were babies.  So, this was a meeting place of fun and laughs and memories.

Since then it's been very difficult not having the sisters' back together.  We don't even get together for any family function's except for my twin and I we live together.  My older sister calls me on the holidays and we catch up on things about our kids.  We are hoping one day that we can get together and be a wholesome family once again.  I pray everynight that one day it will happen but their would be a lot of compremising between us.   I do believe my mother and father would not approve of wants going on between us sisters.
