HL's Response on
That's What Big Sisters Are For. Just thought I'd share this with you guys unedited and uncut (her English is very powerful and she used to tutor me for my 1119 paper. I'm sooo proud of her!)...
Dear Ariel,
With regard to your thanks, you are most welcome!!
I guess I just could not stand by while you were not treated the way I thought you deserve. I have almost forgotten the meet-the-teacher episode until you reminded me of that. The only thing that I can still remember (and see) up till today is your beautiful set of teeth, obtained through much persuasion on my part ( I remember telling Mummy that I would pay for it if she does not want to do anything about it) and pain on yours. I wanted you to have a better set of teeth than mine and a beautiful smile all your life and I am glad that I did what I had to then.
Although sometimes I appear to be very busy and caught up with my family life, rest assured that I will still be there for you if you need me. Just let me know.
Lots of love from your second sister,
HL
Before you all go mushy and stuff, I distinctly remember her telling me that me and my future hubby should kiss her toes all lifelong for making me wear those braces. But please, don't remind her of that, ya?
