Nope, this one is not another “catching up” post either. I am still planning on finishing that up, but here lately God has been laying certain things on my heart. I am not one to ignore what God has to say when he is speaking to me. Last night as I was looking through all of my pictures, I realized how special some people truly are. Theses are the people who leave foot prints all over your soul. They know your thoughts, they laugh with you, cry with you, and love with you. You share your stories, your faults, your hopes and dreams with them. You realize that no matter where life takes you, that in the end you will still have that person right beside you.
You see, out of all the wonderful blessings I have in my life I was not blessed with a sister. I think all women long for that companionship that only having a sister can bring. God placed my “sister” in my path several years ago and I knew from that very moment that he had given me a true blessing. She is an amazing person. Someone that I connect with on so many levels, someone that I can share anything with, and someone whom I love dearly, just like a sister should be loved. We have been able to raise our children together, sharing in each and every mile stone as mothers do. We have relied on one another when there was no one else to count on. We have spent many long hours discussing the wonders of the world and then there were the not so great things we discussed. J We have sought out each others opinions, advice, and views countless times. Our relationship is a stress free, safe, and comfortable place to hide! Not only is she an amazing mother and wife, she is an amazing photographer (yes, another thing we share).
Her work brings to life the things rarely seen. She has an eye for the beauty around her and captures it forever with the lens of her camera. So I guess my point with this was for one to tell her in a way her and I both would understand how much she means to me and to make others look around and realize what special people you have around you. Surround your self with people you love and love you back. It makes things so much easier. Life is too short to be unhappy. Tell those around you how much they mean, don’t just say the words, but show them how much they are loved.
