Raymond and His Sisters

 Raymond loved his four sisters very much. Even though he was not raised together with them he had a very special bond with each of them.  He wished so much all the time to be able to spend more time with them but distance prevented him from spending as much time as he wanted. His sisters grew up mainly in the Sacramento area and Raymond grew up in Castro Valley and Hayward. He was able to spend time with each of them when they got older as three of them each lived with him for a short time. 

Jessica is his oldest sister. She was big sister and he looked up to her because he saw her working at a young age and help take care of her younger sisters.  She also taught Raymond how to swim.

He thought is was so cool to have twin sisters and when he was younger he had a hard time telling one from the other, then he got to know them and could immediately tell one from the other in a picture or the sound of each of their voices. 

His youngest sister is the only one who he was not able to live with any period of time but still had a bond with him. He was proud to see her go to college and that she was the first to make him an uncle.
