The Sister Act

26 Acts of Kindness



The sister act is hard to follow! In this photo, each of my brothers has a corresponding sister! ( I don't think I ever looked at us this way before.) So obviously, each sister has a corresponding brother.  How nice to have a best bud growing up. Really, I mean it!  The difficult days were the divide and conquer days.  When the boys believed they ruled the cottage.  The girls automatically lost.  We never joined forces to do battle against our brothers, we were just more mature!  (That's our story and we're sticking to it!)

Look closely at the photo and you will see that the two in the front are almost joined together!  They are so proud of their bond.  The next two stand close but not really and the oldest have space between them.  Ah, yes, independence fostered with years of knowing that someone has your back.  Or maybe it's just "girls have cooties"  (and what the heck are cooties anyway?)

For the record, three years after this photo - another sister joined our family.  Yay!  I got to be a big sister.

And that is what today is all about - BIG SISTERS.

Act # 18 in honor of Josephine Gay, student
Sandy Hook Elementary School

I needed to walk through my favorite Barnes & Noble for inspiration to honor Josephine.
This book called her name.

I'll send it in the mail this week to a brand new big sis.

Well, the sister act can't stop here.  For another family, this one living in North Carolina...a special book for a big sister.  I read that Caroline Previdi's grandparents live in NC.  This book is headed that way in memory of Caroline.
