Sisters

Having a sister is like having a best friend, you can't get rid of.  You know whatever you do she will always be there - Amy Li

Is this true to me and my sister?  Maybe yes.  We didn't grow up together, i have very few memories of us playing together.  What I could clearly remember is that she is far more feminine than I am.  She is Cristy, named after my father Cristobal.  She's 2 years younger than I am.  

Our Father was a US Naval Base employee for over 30 years.  He was granted a Special Immigrant Visa by the US government which serves as a way for my siblings to go to the states.  They migrated in Hawaii.  A place my father loved and admired so much.  

Cristy got married at 25, to Juan, also a Filipino but raised in Hawaii.  Blessed with 4 kids, she is trying to balance her work, being a mom, a wife and her active participation inside the church.

Meet Cristy, my sister, friends call her Kitte.
