Sisters

I love having sisters. Even though we're 19.5 years age difference, I know we'll always be close. Don't get me wrong, I love Kent and he'll get his own post too, but there's something about a sister bond. Some of my favorite quotes about sisters:

Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart - oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape - of your sister.  ~Katherine Mansfield

In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips.  ~Author Unknown

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.  ~Isadora James

Millie, you are such a flirt! You have this shy smile that makes me want to hold you forever. You give me such intense looks, like you're trying to tell me something important, or trying to figure me out. I'll never forget the time you held my face, smiled and said gibberish and gave me a kiss, then hid your face in my neck. I giggle when you kick so hard in your bouncer, especially when I'm cheering for you. I forgive you for slime-ing me and trying to trick me into putting my hands in your mouth. I'm sorry I call you crazy sometimes, but I'm crazy, so it's ok!

Maggie, you're always sharing a joke with me. Always laughing with me, always trying to be a part of what I'm doing, always curious with your raised eyebrows. Intent with just sitting with me. I love your expression when I come over and you haven't seen me since the night before (such a long time) and I get a happy, hopeful smile. I forgive you for spitting on my computer screen. You were just excited I was editing a picture of Millie. I'm sorry I call you a fatty all the time. Chubby cheeks are in, I promise.


They have brought so much light into my life.
