all your loves and losses. They have no delusions.
They lived with you too long.
And so, when you achieve some victory, friends are delighted -
but sisters hold your hands in silence and shine with happiness.
For they know the cost."
Two boys and then four girls on the end of our family. I wonder sometimes how my parents did it...raising four crazy girls! What a blessing it has been though, having three beautiful and unique sisters to grow up with. From playing house, barbies, indians, having tea parties and bike adventures to first kisses (Hannah yours will be coming soon!), boyfriends, heartbreaks, graduating high school, college, going on missions and getting married. Life definitely flies by when you stop and think about it, but I am so grateful for the memories. I cherish the memories I have made with my sisters: girl's nights with nails, back massages and face masks, eating lilacs outside, dressing up weird and being ridiculous in public while renting a movie, heart to heart talks late at night, embarrassing each other, being obnoxious, laughing attacks, music videos, playing pranks on each other (Steph can't saran wrap a toilet seat very well!), sleepovers on the trampoline and so much more!
They have been the strength and support throughout my life and I am very grateful for them. The quote above is very much true. I love each of them so much. I am grateful for them holding my hand and loving me through the dark and hard times of my life as well as the good. Even though we are all in separate states now, I know that they will continue to be there for me. Thank you God for blessing me with these three angels. I love you Heidi, Stephanie, and Hannah. Thank you for everything.
