Sisters

Bud called me to the kitchen the other night and handed me a writing piece that Abby had done for one of her classes. I don't think it was quite finished but it was too precious not to record and share.

One of the most special gifts in life is siblings, especially sisters. Friends are okay but, siblings are better. You can share life with them. My name is Abigail and I have 2 sisters but today I am going to talk about my younger sister. She is special in our own way so let's take a journey to see why.

My little sister is a pretty 7 year old. Her name is Madeline (Maddie for short). My little sister is special because she is the youngest and most athletic of my family. She plays basketball and soccer. I have a story for you about how my dad learned that Maddie has been born into the world. It was a bright, sunny monring and my mom had gone into labor and was about to give birth to her second beautiful baby girl. Beforhand my mom had made a shirt for me that said I'm a big sister as as soon as my dad saw me in my tiny little shirt he knew he had gotten a gift from God too, and now he had 2 loverly daughters.

Oh how I love that they love each other. For every moment they fight, there are moments like these.
