I know it’s July. It’s the season for backyard barbecues and pool parties and flaming fireworks. But today I’m excited for another reason.

I grew up always wishing I had a sister — someone who is a built-in best friend forever (BFF). But, alas, I have two older brothers, and they’re both great, but I have no sisters.
