I have owned a necklace for five years. It is a golden, slender, lovely style necklace my sister gave me when she left China for the United States. Whenever I wear it, I always believe my sister and I are not far away from each other.+ u: n4 r( Q3 ^* ^

My parents have three children. My sister is the eldest child in my family. She was aware of the power she had to control my brother and me, so she usually demanded us to do something we disliked. Because I am just two years younger, sometimes I wanted to resist her orders. So we often fought with each other while we were teenagers. Unfortunately, every time I was defeated by her and had to follow what she requested of me. At that time, I was looking forward to growing up quickly and gain the power to exceed of her.) |$ x4 z" u# R& \

When I began to work in my hometown, although we were living in the same city, we didn’t have enough time to stay together. But gradually, I found my sister turned into a gentle, affectionate woman. She was deeply concerned about my career, my marriage and what I thought. We have never been so close. She cared for me in many ways, such as how to select clothes, how to find out the personality of my boyfriend…..She was willing to give me something she thought I might like. Happy days were not to last long because my sister decided to immigrate to the United States. Before she left, she bought me this special necklace that would be the most precious present I have ever received.

Sometimes we only value things when we have lost them. I am lucky not to neglect the intimacy of my sister, knowing she is always with me, which is deep and indestructible. It gives me warmth and courage, wherever I am.
