16 Heartbreakingly Kind Things Sisters Have Done For Each Other

"I was having one of my many sad days when my sister burst into my room, laid down on top of me proclaiming she was 'squishing the sadness out of me'. She's 25."

We asked the BuzzFeed Community for the nicest things they've ever done for their sisters. Here are the results!

1. "I judo flipped the kid who was bullying her"

ABC

"My sister and I hated each other as kids (we still argue), but there was one day we were playing outside and this boy thought it'd be funny to pick on my sister when he thought he wasn't looking. I grabbed the kid and judo flipped him over my shoulder, and I think he learned his lesson." – ninjagirl21

2. "I buy my sister mother's day gifts."

Paramount Pictures

"She's 11 years older than me and we spent a lot of time together when I was growing up, so she's almost like my second mom. Sending her mother's day gifts started as a joke, but now we're older and she's an actual mom and I appreciate all she's done and still does for me and it just feels right." – hwoods91

3. "I surprised her with a trip to Paris"

ABC

"She thought she was getting a train to London, I'd got her passport ready and surprised her on the way to the airport, it was amazing! We went up the Eiffel tower, visited the Notre Dame, took a boat down the Seine and got stuck in the lift in the hotel and tried to explain this over the phone to staff who didn't speak a word of English....at least we had smuggled McDonalds in our handbags! Definitely a sister trip to remember!" – sammifletcher

4. "I gave her money for IVF"

"My sister and I both have a genetic disorder that meant if we wanted to have children, we would need to use in-vitro fertilization. I had money saved up for the procedure, but then my insurance company unexpectedly decided to cover it. My sister's insurance company said no way, since she is in a same-sex marriage. I gave her the money, and now we both have wonderful families." – ikem

5. "She told me exactly what I needed to hear"

Disney

"My sister and I are 9 years apart. I am the elder one. A while back, I failed in my medical licensing exam. My family was quite disappointed, none so more than me. I tried to be cheerful saying things like "i'll try again", "i'll get it next time", "i'll work harder" etc etc. My family was happy seeing I have not lost my spirit. My sister came to me after a few days and said, "you don't have to fake it. You can break down, take time to get back up again. This failure affects you more than all of us. So, you are allowed to have a meltdown, and all the works. Move past it, not over it."She saw right through me and helped me. It is one of my brightest memories." – saadiyas2

6. "I pretended to be her mum"

Universal Pictures

"My younger sister (15) had her college interview for sixth form and my mum was unable to take her so I went along to support her. When we arrived they took her into a separate room for the interview and took all the “parents” into another room for a brief run through of what the college was about.

"As it was all parents, the teachers automatically assumed I was her mum despite there only being a four year age gap between us both, so I was referred to as her mum and parental guardian. So, for a full twenty minutes I received a lot of disapproving looks and a lot of other parents looked down on me as I was supposedly a young mum while getting information for my sister's future. Needless to say, I thought it was funny and went along with it, and she got a place at the college she wanted so it was totally worth the looks and the assumptions in the end!" – meganw

7. "I sent her a care package"

"My sister took her GCSE exams last summer. She would send me whatever she was working on - whether it be coursework or practise answers and we would go through it together on the phone. Before her exams she was quite stressed so I surprised her by sending a "care" package – basically a box with calming herbal tea, lavender oil, facemasks, energy bars and chocolate with little encouraging notes as well. And glitter confetti. Lots of glitter confetti." – m1g

8. "I did a pumpkin patch shoot for her"

"My sister (the middle one, I have 3) was fighting with her baby daddy around Halloween. She wanted to take her daughter to the pumpkin patch to take pictures, but he wasn’t gonna take them. My sister was so upset she started crying. My niece is the cutest thing ever and we didn’t want her to miss out on these pictures so my other sister (the baby one) and I came up with this great idea to recreate the shoot at home.

"Having 3 sisters and being the oldest means you have to take care of them, be there when they’re sad and going out of your way to make sure they’re always okay. Being a big sister is one of the greatest things in the world. I wouldn’t have it any other way." – arelyg3

9. "I planned a trip for her and our dog"

buzzfeed.com

"My older sister silently struggled through a severe bout of depression during her junior year of college, and was hospitalized for a month in the psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt. I wanted to do anything and everything in my power to see her laugh and smile again, so I planned a vacation to Cancun for the both of us and our dog.

"Although our trip was far from luxurious since we were "roughing it" on a tight budget, we had so much fun on our adventures. My sister was able to fully immerse herself in the light and beauty that life has to offer, and it helped jump-start her road to recovery." – hihisisi

10. "I quit my job for her"

Dualstar Productions

"My sister lives a crazy hectic lifestyle. And although she is already married to her job, she decided to marry an actual human. She was drowning in wedding planning and preparation so, I quit my job and moved to another state to plan and prepare for her " – tesalynnh

11. "She bought me something special"

E!

"I don’t like getting presents. I love to give them and see the joy on other people’s faces. For example, I spoilt my littlest sister on Christmas Day by getting her way too many presents because it was the first Christmas we’ve spent together in seven years. The day I get back to where I live, my sister sends me a picture of a surprise. It’s of a ring I’ve wanted for sometime and unbeknown to me, whilst I was with her(!) she secretly bought this ring. Because in her words ‘I deserve something special’. It’s the kindest thing she’s even done." – LouiseH

12. "I got her favourite band to phone her"

Disney

"I moved to Florida for college and my older sister stayed in Oklahoma for college. We would fly back and forth a lot and stay with each other. She was a huge Papa Roach fan at the time and they were having a concert in my city. My sister couldn't come for the concert so I decided I would go to the concert and take lots of pictures for her even though I really didn't know much about the band. I waited hours before the concert to be in the front row, called her during the concert so she could hear it, took tons of pictures (back when phones and cameras were two separate things lol).

"I even managed to get back to the band's bus after the concert and had the entire band sign a CD I had bought for my sister. Because the lead singer is a great guy he agreed to call my sister and talk to her! She cried the whole time he was talking to her. So basically the takeaway from this is I would do anything for both of my sisters!" – add04g

13. "I stayed in quarantine with her during swine flu"

The CW

"When my sister was in university, she came down with swine flu. She was really ill and contagious, but I stayed with her in quarantine for two weeks. I was the only other person allowed to see her because I’d already been exposed and not got sick. I stayed in the bed with her while the family had to keep their distance.

"We watched Princess and The Frog on repeat, I bought her soup and crackers and new pyjamas and I watched her lose 3 stone and become frailer by the day. I was so terrified because there were thousands of reports of fatalities and I couldn’t lose her. It was in the middle of my school exams but the only thing important to me was helping her get better.

"After weeks indoors, her symptoms started to get better and she was finally able to walk and eat. Not to toot my own horn but I don’t think she would have coped without me in isolation for that long! To this day, we still wear the swine flu pj’s!" –  tamsinmason

14. "She cheers me up everyday"

Jenny Chang/ BuzzFeed

"I was having one of my many sad days when my sister burst into my room, laid down on top of me proclaiming she was "squishing the sadness out of me". She's 25." – DeanBSerena

15. "I baked cake for her at 1.30am"

Disney

"I know it’s not much but when she was pregnant with my nephew a couple of years back, she woke me up at 1 AM craving cake. So I baked her a cake at 1:30 AM" – nyikodorrisn

16. "I supported her no matter what"

giphy.com Hamilton on Broadway

"Supported her when she came out to me as transgender and I lost a brother but gained a sister." – amylouiseev
