There is no friend like a sister


For there is no friend like a sister
in calm or stormy weather;
to cheer one on the tedious way
to fetch one if one goes astray
to lift one if one totters down
to strengthen while one stands.
-Christina Rossetti

I am fortunate to have two such lovely sisters, but only one is celebrating her birthday today! Happy birthday, dear Kim. Hope your day is filled with lovely things. You are a blessing to our family, and I'm so glad you're in it.

Just remember, you are to lift me when I totter down... (that might come sooner rather than later). And in more us-speak: I appreciate so much being able to pick up the phone and share and rant and rave and laugh. Now, we just need to work on diminishing the miles between us...

  1. Awwwww, golly gosh! Feelin' the love. Thank you so very, very much, Sher. You are truly a sister to me and I am profoundly grateful for that. It is a gift to go through life with you always there, regardless of physical distance. Still, let's look into that issue, shall we? xoxo

  2. That is SO lovely, it really is. This is why I'm so torn about Gracie being an only- she will miss out on this good stuff. <3
