My Wish for Them
I wonder what they will be like when they are older . . .
Will they still be each others best friend?
Will they still listen to each other as intently as they do today?
Will they remember how much they make each other laugh right now?
Will they be there in good times and bad?
Of all the things in life I am blessed for, one of the tops has to be that God has given me TWO amazing daughters to grow together and be together in this crazy world. And if there is anything I can tell them about their relationship with each other, it would be to never forget the importance of their friendship.
If I could make a wish for my daughters, it would be . . .
That when life is hard, they pick each other up and carry each other through the hard times.
That when life is good, that they enjoy it together.
That when there are obstacles placed before them, they work through them together.
That when they are grown and have families of their own, they share their lives with each other.
That they ALWAYS LAUGH and remember the joy they brought to each other when they were young girls.
That they love and accept each other, just the way they are.
That they enjoy their differences and embrace their imperfections, together.
And that no matter where life takes them, that they will remember they once were little girls, holding hands, eating ice cream, laughing, and exploring life side-by-side.
Sweet post, Leanne. And tell Miss Katie I had a banana just like that at Disney World. It was the best ice cream treat I've ever had:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those sweet girls. I sure can't believe how big my kids have gotten. Seems like they were just this size *sigh*

That was truly wonderful! Enjoy these moments of seeing them grow up together... Time flies too quickly for all of us!
ReplyDeleteOh! Sweetness! I have told my boys they need to always be best friends and be there for each other. It would break my heart if they didn't get along.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me a little teary this morning!
Leanne, sister hood lives on! My sister and I were very different growing up but as we go older we are more alike than ever. She's my very best girl friend who knows me, understands me, has the same interest as me, and I can't imagine life without her!
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious your girls share the same closeness and will for the rest of their lives!
They're beautiful Leanne, what a lucky mommy you are!!
Sweet and beautiful... you should print that up and start an album for each daughter. Letters from Mom. I wish you lived near me...I adore you! :-)
ReplyDeletethis is how i feel about my 2. i'm so happy i have 2 of the same. i think 2 boys or 2 girls bond in one way that's very different from a boy/girl combo.
ReplyDeleteChances are that they will go through that teenager phase when they may not like each other. However, chances are also really good that will become the best of friends in their 20s and it will only get better as they get older. I wish that for them, too.
ReplyDeleteOHHH CRAP! You got me all weepy over this sweet post! You are one lucky mommy and them are some lucky girls. Makes me so sad I don't have a sister
ReplyDelete:( But I hope my boys will always have eachothers backs and take good care of their little sister.
So good to have you back....Missed you. :)
I only have sons and I hope the same thing for them. But since I am a girl, I really have no idea how brothers think. I do have 2 sisters, however. They are my best friends and since I don't live near them, I long to spend time with them. I think only having one sibling that was a sister would create a bond so close nothing could separate it. I hope your girls get to experience that.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOH.. that's sweet.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, you'll have the ups & downs, ebb & flow in their relationship, just like you do with any good friends. But when all is said and done, they will be there for each other. And that truly is all that's important. IMHO, of course!!
ReplyDeleteLeanne this is beautiful! They will always have that friendship because you are nurturing it! This was such a sweet post my friend! have a great day!

So..I was having some major commenting issues yesterday..and I did leave a comment here but kept getting and error.
ReplyDeleteAnyway...just wanted to say I loved this post. This is my wish for my children too. I want them to love eachother and protect on another. It's so uncommon in today's society...sibling love..that is. Or at least it seems that way. This is one of my greatest prayers. Us families gotta stick together!!
And apparently...today I am having spelling and grammatical issues. Just call me the "girl with issues"!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post! I always wished I'd had a sister...now my sister-in-law fills that gap. Those missing front teeth couldn't be more adorable, either!
ReplyDeleteMy son and daughter have a pretty nice bond, but it's different than it would be if they were both girls. I also hope that they can keep their bond into adulthood, and be there for each other when I can't.
Have to come back and read this one- I can tell from the title and about 3 sentences in I'm going to need a huge box of kleenex to make it through. Having a VERY HARD time right now not being home with the kids. Thank you for your messages. I really appreciate your friendship :)
ReplyDeleteLeanne, you make tears come to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteSeeing those cute smiling faces reminds me of my sister and I... good times. We're stil best friends, leaning on each other and eating ice cream whenever we can convince one another it is good for our mental health! Great blog - found you through the Nestwork, and am really enjoying your writing.
