Today, my sister is working on her graduation speech. She gives her thanks to one friend for helping support her through school, like, "The sister I never had". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was at my only sister's wedding. She gave a speech about the person who means the most to her. She said, "She's my favorite sister, who has always been there for me." Being her only sister, I got up to hug her. Turns out she was talking about her slutty sorority sister. FML
Today, my brother had his fiancée over to meet the whole family. We were having a great time with her, and my mother gushed to her that she was like the daughter she never had. I'm her daughter. FML
Today, my sister got fired and I got promoted to her job, got a nice payrise for it. My relationship with my sister will never be the same again. FML
Today, we got a letter regarding my sister's college career and an appointment she was required to go to. This seems fitting, since she's a senior in high school, or at least she would be if she hadn't passed away a little over a year ago. FML
Today, my sister started a full-time job with a good pay despite having no prior work experience and being a college freshman. Meanwhile, I've graduated with two degrees, have been working two jobs for the last five years, and still can't get a full-time position anywhere. FML
Today, my sister finished a project about something she hates. Me. FML
Today, my sister was dumped by her boyfriend. As my mother was comforting her, I overheard her say "Honey, it's okay, you're the pretty one. Think of those worse off than you. Think of your sister, she might never get a boyfriend." FML
Today, the token of appreciation from my husband after paying off his student loan debt, being his support system when his mother died, and cooking and cleaning for his ass everyday, is him getting my sister pregnant. FML
Today, we had to give a surprise speech in speech class on two of our best and closest friends. My first friend was my mom. I had to make up the other one. FML
Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML

Hopefully it was just a figure of speech.

Harsh, but maybe she's ignorant of what "sister I never had" means or just got confused between that and "like a sister."

Hopefully she was just trying to compare her to a sister but had a poor choice of words.

That sucks, OP. When it's your graduation, make an indirect insult to her as well!

Or don't, because insulting her won't erase hurt feelings. She likely didn't do it with the intention of hurting you, OP, but I know that that wouldn't make it any less hurtful. Talk to her about it, hopefully she didn't mean it the way it sounds.

I wouldn't take it as an insult or a slight. The saying "the x that I never had" is often misused and is likely just a figure of speech that shouldn't be taken literally. She likely just wanted to convey that the friend is more like family than a friend.

She probably just worded it badly. Sometimes people don't wen think about the meaning behind their words.

She'll need a favor sooner or later, and when that time comes, tell her to ask the "sister she never had".

you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends but you can't pick family! and you shouldn't pick your friends nose either.
