Similarities

We spent all week

comparing  our similarities.

 

It's amazing the number

of similarities. Some we would like

to ignore, but many we are proud

to have explored.

 

Then I look at our children

and I see the same.

 

We both have beautiful girls,

a Princess and one

in training. Not dressed

in party dresses, but swinging

rackets in their Nike Dresses

or galloping along the trails

on their favorite horses.

 

 

Our boys almost

from the same mold.

Both so athletic and

most likely engineers

in training. Wanting to be just

like Dad, with golf bags, and even racket

and fishing poles in hands.

 

The similarities are

way too many.

 

The week was

full of great memories,

our children will now have.

Memories of true loving family,

they will always have

and will always cherish.

 

It was the Best Vacation

we have ever had!

Author's Note

No this is not my sister...this is a long lost cousin. We are both Motherless, and found each other in a point of our lives that we both needed each other. Neither of us were raised with a sister, so we are finally learning what TRUE SISTERHOOD is all about. Unfortunately...I am the OLDER SISTER! LOL

What a beautiful piece. Is this about your Sister? I haven't seen mine in about 6 years.
