(Not So) Wordless Wednesday- Sisters

April 28, 2010

Picture This

“She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities.
She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway.
She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion,
someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.
She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink.
Some days, she’s the reason you wish you were an only child.”

~Barbara Alper

    Definitely frame-able(sp). I live too far from my family to even get together so treasure it while you can. I miss mine dearly and would love to have a photo like this.
