Two Sisters

It was one of those days that make your heart feel like it's ripping out of your chest.

But in the best way possible because every time you saw them together you had to catch your breath at the miracle of love you were beholding.

And you hated every precious moment because you knew it would be over before you could blink.

Except that it wasn't.

They were best buddies the entire day. All because Stranger got tired of Lovely hitting people and he made her go to her room until she was ready to talk about what she had done instead of throwing her limp body on the floor in tears because her father had said a stern word to her.

Who has ever heard of a two year old going to time out until she could discuss her behavior? Apparently Stranger because after two minutes in her room she cracked the door open and said, "I ready talk." She apologized to Persistence and then she climbed up into her sister's lap and lay perfectly still while Persistence held her close and tickled her arm.

"Is Persistence your best buddy," I asked? "She my best buddy Mommy. She my best buddy."

"I'll get her out of the car," Persistence later informed me. "I'll take her potty." "I'll hold her hand."

"Take our picture together Mom. We're best buddies."


Ok but only if you promise to love each other forever.
