sunday photo: a sister act

 

for the sisters that don't always act like they love each other;

your endless hours of play will turn into endless hours of talking.

your incessant fighting will turn into an abundance of thought-provoking discussions.

you will hug each other, you will punch each other, you will do each others' hair, you will tease each other. you will teach each other the truth about love, forgiveness and acceptance.

you will continue to cry because of each other but you will begin to cry with each other.

 you will learn to shout at each other with your lips shut tight, but you will cheer each other on with voices louder than your most angry, toddler-intense scream.

you will tell each other your deepest pains and celebrate your most menial feats. 

you will love and embrace each other like no one else can. not even me.

you will be the best thing you have in the world.
