I’m still just the big sister, but I feel like you are more like daughters to me.  Maybe it’s because I’m so much older than you.  Or maybe it’s because I’ve nursed you when you were sick (Purity) and I’ve tried to give you ideas to help you with the mean girls at school ( Bea).  I’ll be honest with you, I have not been there as much as you wanted me to be.  I have certainly not been there as much as I wanted to be. I confess, I’m not feeling the urge to have daughters of my own as much as I used to.  Maybe it’s because I’m feeling that you both need me in this capacity. If we were able to be together today, we’d be going out and doing lunch, shopping and pedicures. I hope you are getting to do something today that celebrates your place in the family.  Know that I’m celebrating you.  Happy Daughter’s Day!  I love you!  Xxoo
