sisters

One is here, one lives there. One is

a little taller than the other. Two

different colors of hair, two different

outlooks on life, two very different

views from their windows. Both

have different tomorrows ahead.

Each is unique in so many ways.

Each has her own story, with all

the busy things going on in the

present. Each has different work to

do, and different demands on the

day. Each had separate destinations

and a distinctly different path to

get there. But...

For all the things that might be

different and unique about them...

these two sisters will always share so

much. They will always be the best of

family and friends, entwined together,

through all the days of their lives.

Their love will always be very special:

gentle and joyful when it can be,

strong and giving when it needs to be,

reminding them, no matter how

different their stories turn out...

They share the incredibly precious

gift of being "sisters." And when you

think of some of the best things this

world has to offer, a blessing like
that is really... what it’s all about.
