the little things

I went out for a caffeine boost today, and as I waited at a light, I noticed two sisters on the other side of the street. They look about 6-8 years old and the older sister had her arm around her little sister. Donning matching coats, they just looked ducky…and having a grand old time.

It made me thankful to have a sister of my own to hug and pamper…not to mention take advantage of when I’m lazy or tired (“IRIS! CAN YOU GET MY CELL PHONE PLEASE?”, “IRIS! CAN YOU TAPE TOP CHEF??”). She’s the one person I never hesitate to tickle, mess up the hair of, open my arms to, and generally pester.

Thank God for sisters.
