A Special Bond

I now understand what it means to have a sisterhood bond. Michelle has been in South Texas for almost a week and Carolyn has been pretty lonely without her. As we took Michelle and Nana to the airport, they were hugging and telling each other how much they were going to miss each other.

For the first day or two, Carolyn kept saying Michelle was on the plane still. I tried over and over to tell her that they were already in Harlingen but she knew that since we dropped her off at the airport, that must mean that she was staying there, or at least on the plane! I finally decided this was an argument that wasn't worth winning.

On Friday evening, Michelle called and talked to Carolyn on the phone. It was the cutest conversation I've ever heard!

Michelle: Hi Carolyn!
Carolyn: Hi Michelle, I miss you!
Michelle: I miss you too!
Carolyn: You're my best friend forever, I drew you some pictures and I will put them on the table and give them to you when you get home and I've been playing and our room is clean and we are at Gale's and we went swimming and we are playing.......
Michelle: Yeah our room is clean! I love you Carolyn I miss you!
Carolyn: I miss you too!

I have never known how loving they could be and how much they could miss each other. It has been so quiet without Michelle here but I know that as soon as she is home, it will be noisy again!!!

I know that Leah is still too young for this but I hope that they will all have that bond with each other like they do right now! So sweet!
