Thank God for that Minnesota Nice

So, yesterday my car broke down on my way to my parent's house for my sister's birthday. It broke down coming off of a highway onto a road and I was blocking about two lanes of traffic. So I proceeded to put my flashers on and run to the nearest store for help. Then these two amazing boys who work at noodles came out and helped me push my car around the corner so that I was only blocking 3/4 of a lane of traffic instead. Of course at this point we were all soaking wet because as soon as I broke down God chose that moment to start dumping rain on our heads. I made a few phone calls and ended up calling AAA. It's weird because it felt like a parent coming over and rescuing me from my disaster. I really appreciate that my family is wealthy enough to afford something like AAA. But seriously, those noodles guys, they were amazing. Only in the Midwest are you gonna find two guys willing to push your car up a hill while its pouring rain that aren't trying to bang you. However, I did let them know that I am buying them a drink asap so hopefully that will encourage their altruistic behavior in the future. Once I made it home my sisters birthday was ok. I hope she liked my gift, I think she really did but you can never know with my sister. I was really appreciating her yesterday. Of course Birthdays are my favorite holiday because if there were no birthdays than there would be no people. So as I was watching her eat her dessert, I was really touched by her presence. My sister. We share the same blood, same history, we have been through the same things with our parents. We have prayed together, ate together and cried together. But I don't really know her. I dont know her at all. It makes me sad that the one person I should know is just beyond my reach. No matter how hard I try to get inside that head I can't. It's not that she is particularly guarded. She is just so different from me. I can't even imagine how she works and functions. We don't think the same things are funny, we don't like the same music. I don't think we even think the same type of men are attractive. I wish that I could understand her better so I could better serve her. I want to take care of her and love her and be the best sister in the world. She has her friends for that though. I would still say my sister and I are close. We are very close really for family. I have heard tons of stories that make me glad that SHE is my sister and not someone else. But we don't have that easy communication, that knowing look between the two of us. I want that someday. I want to be able to help her and know her better than ever.
