We hug, but there are no tears. For every awful thing that's been said and done, she is my sister. Parents die, daughters grow up and marry out, but sisters are for life. She is the only person left in the world who shares my memories of our childhood, our parents, our Shanghai, our struggles, our sorrows, and, yes, even our moments of happiness and triumph. My sister is the one person who truly knows me, as I know her. The last thing May says to me is 'When our hair is white, we'll still have our sister love. Lisa See
About This Quote

In a world full of disagreements and fights, it is nice to have a reminder that the majority of people stick together. In a world full of sadness and pain, it is nice to know that there are still those who will be there for you at the end. No matter what, a sister is a sister no matter how old or young you are. Whether you want to admit it or not, your sister knows you better than anyone else does.
