Sisterhood is all new to me,
I've never experienced the bond that exists between sisters.
Evie has been fiercely protective of Lydi even before I knew Lydi was truly on the way.
The Christmas Eve (just 3 days before Lydi was born) Evie told me she prayed and knew that her sister
was coming home soon, she waited at the kitchen window for days,
just watching for her sister to come down our drive.
Then when we brought Lydia home the long held tradition of oldest holds first was NOT okay
with Evelyn, she sobbed hysterically.
But after calm, she held her sister and then looked up at me and said
"I not Ebie, I big sister"
And true to her word, to this day she regularly reminds us that her name is BIG SISTER.
When you have six kids there are several different dynamics & different bonds...
There is the bond of brotherhood, the bond of big brother protection for little sisters, and now,
sisterhood
Each one is amazing, each one is unique and beautiful to behold (most of the time)
As Lydi is growing and changing she has had a steady and constant support in her big sister.
Evelyn was created to be a big sister to a precious little sister
Lydia was created for the roll of little sister, looking up to her with delight
for almost nobody can make her laugh like her big sister.
I am SO thankful to be a spectator in this beautiful bond
