i think i'll keep 'em



i found the kids cuddling.

it's funny how one moment they can be typically rivals.
then another moment they can be like this, loving and sweet.

i appreciate the differences.
i have 3 sisters.

and as loving and as sweet as sisters can be,
we've had our rival moments.

in the end, when we have a chance,
we hang on to each other.
longing for another second together.
i long for one moment now.

to see my sister's growing tummy,
to see my sister's crazy rendition of 'borderline',
to see my sister's sunny disposition and a freckle or two.

so instead, i'll smile at my own children.
loving and sweet.
