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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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."

Maybe OP wasn't there for her sister? I mean, siblings are either really close, or really distant. At least for me, growing up, my sister and I hated each other. But now, we act like family.

Regardless, it was still a bit inconsiderate. If my sister said that to a large group of people in front of me I would feel extremely shitty.

I've grown up to be very distant with my older sister. I have a valid reason for it, and my sister did something to end up in that position. It could be the same with OP. Either she wasn't there for her sister and she did something to be disregarded like that. Or maybe her sister doesn't know/appreciate what a great sister OP might be. I would hope it's the second one, because it feels terrible to be distant from siblings.

Wow. That's pretty harsh. Hopefully it was a mistake.

If it isn't, let your sister know that it bothers you. Hopefully, like #5 said, it was a mistake.

Maybe she wanted another sister

Ehhh.. probably not considering the way the OP put it.

Well I obviously don't know you or your family, but if that's in her speech, maybe you should've been more supportive of her?

Don't worry, blood is thicker than water. You'll always be sisters no matter what. Maybe talk to her about it?

Fun fact, that full phrase is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," meaning sometimes you have to choose friends over family... Which OP's sister appears to have done.
