"Should you need a helping hand,
I'll gladly lend you mine."
i never had a sister. i don't think i ever really wanted one. i never have been one for female drama, and having a sister seemed to me to bring in a lot of drama. so, seeing my daughters relationship has been an interesting insight into sisterhood. i have never seen such love, such hatred, such tenderness and such jealousy that my two girls express towards one another. is that how sisters act? my oldest elise, is the protector and leader. i am constantly on her to be a better example. maybe i shouldn't place so much responsibility on her but, as much as michelle wants even demands to be her own person, she still follows elise in ALL actions adoringly. michelle, is my little spitfire. as my mother has told me, she is how i was as a child. she is her own little person, playful and stubborn. she loves her sister but is jealous of her. she is always pushing elise's buttons and a yelling fit usually ensues. but, with all the yelling and fights, there are the tender moments that i've been lucky to witness of kindness, friendship and unconditional love that two sisters share. those are the times i am grateful to see. i pray my daughters will look back at their childhood and be grateful for the sister they have, and cherish them in the years to come. may i pray for them to laugh, love and live together in the happiness of their sisterhood.
