sisters

i was sitting on the couch, just catching up on everyone's blogs when i looked up to see norah going in for a hug from grace. they were standing up, watching tv, and just hugging. when norah let go, grace said, that was nice norah - thank you for hugging me.
it made me warm all over.
and it made me think of the time i was in kindergarten and my mom had been in a car accident the night before. my older sisters and i had to go to school and i was so worried about my mom, the only person i wanted was april and she hugged me just like that.
grace and norah hugged for a few more times and eventually started falling over onto the floor pillows on the ground, over and over again, all giggles.

How sweet. It made me warm all over as well and proud to be your mother.
