A

On Saturday, Feb 12, 2000, two things happened that changed my life.

First of all, my baby sister got married. She was 26 this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister.

I was happy, but also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing(支使) her around. My bossy behavior had once earned me the nickname Lucy. If you’re a fan of Peanuts, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister.

I saw, for the first time, what I really was – a 30-year-old woman with a husband of my own, and soon, a child of my own.

I took a deep breath and stood up from the bench. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I hadn’t missed the cutting of the cake. It was the day that my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest – the
