Here I am with my sister, Mel. We’ve been sharing the last couple of days together, and Friday is our big shopping day. Just the two of us! I’m looking forward to that. We haven’t had a lot of time, just us two since we got married and started our own families, all those years ago, but here we are in our prime, with opportunities to be “sisters” once again.Â
One of the things I love the best about Mel, is that we have shared those first years in our lives together. She knows that I was a real Barbie Doll nut, and I know that she was almost never too busy to stop and play Barbies with me.
She read to me as a child, comforted me when I had bad dreams, and helped me do the dishes when I had to use a kitchen chair to reach the sink.
We sang silly songs together, played outside in the summer after dark, watching the fire flies and the moon, and we dreamed about what our lives would be when we grew up.
She found her Prince Charming and I found mine. Our kids are good kids, grown and with lives of their own now and she has wonderful grand-kids that I just adore.
Yes, I’m lucky to have Mel, and I sure hope she knows just how much I love her!
Did you see it’s a full moon tonight? No fireflies, but probably quite a few icicles!
Nice Post today, about US! I have to add we are having a wonderful time together and I am looking forward to our sister day of fun and shopping. Love YOU, Mel
As I am an only child, I only have very good friends since a long long time (the oldest one for 58 years !) I am terribly faithful in friendship, lol !
Judging from her comments I read everyday… I think the feeling is mutual! You’re sO cute together!
Hi Mom! What a fabulous picture of the two of you! And a nice post too! Would love to be out Christmas shopping with you two today! 🙂
For nice Chistmas songs, check out: Sixpence None the Richer “Christmas For Two,” and Joan Osborne has a good one too. I’ve been looking for, but can’t find the name. Will send along a note when I find it!

Dearest Maribeth,

Awww, for some reason, I missed this post earlier, but what a beautiful tribute to your sister!
It’s definitely GREAT to have a sister that you’re close with! 😉 I can’t wait to see mine!
You both look lovely…
I wish I was this close to my sister…
