The Day I Met My Sister

By Erin

While waiting at the airport for my new sister, I began to wonder what she would be like. How scared would she be and how could she trust us? Then I began to wonder about her mother. Wasn't she scared about her baby?

All of a sudden over the loud speaker a voice rang out announcing Flight 89 from South Korea. A lady came around the corner with this cute little bundle with black hair sticking out. My mother took her and held her in her arms. My dad glanced over my mom's shoulder and smiled. I couldn't see the baby yet, and wanted to hold her so my mom told me to sit down. I took the warm bundle in my arms. I could feel her body heat against mine. After all my family members saw her, we got into the car and headed home. When we got home I took her inside and laid her gently down. I thought to myself, "Wow! This is my sister now and I already love her!"

Kaitlin is now five years old and I'm glad to have her as part of my life. Without her I would be alone with just three annoying brothers. Then, my second little sister, Meghan, from Korea came. We went through the same excitement. I could tell Kaitlin was enjoying it too. I realized how much she loves her. After a few months, however, Kaitlin began getting jealous. I told her that when she came I was excited but I began getting a little jealous too.

Kaitlin and I often argue. And she often gets really annoyed with Meghan. But we all love each other very much. So I have two wonderful sisters even though they often get into my room and mess it up. I agree with my mother who always says, "All I have to say is, thank-you God for my little babies from Korea."
