I, the younger sister (can you not tell by my opening line?), rivaled only by my brother in how fast we can get under Big Sis's skin, need to clarify the reason for my sister's waterworks...It is because she misses me. <br /><br />In a family where inward feelings of affection abound but outward displays are scarce, we are not used to offering hugs or spoken "I love you's" to each other. So it's understandable that she was trying to couch her true reason for crying within the framework of a patriotic spiritual event. (Ask her about Papa's funeral. Go ahead. Ask.) <br /><br />But don't worry, I will return after Christmas and then you'll read another post about how pregnant hormones caused her undue elation at witnessing an ant triumph in carrying an oversized breadcrumb across the sidewalk crack. But you and I will both know that she's really writing about how happy she is that I have, once again, landed within the borders of the land of the free.<br /><br />P.S.

There have been 12 babies born in our ward so far this year. (I think it might be a record -- seriously!) And I would never wish for a tiny preemie baby, or itty-bitty twins, but my friend who was due three weeks after me currently has a 3 week old in the NICU (he's doing fine, and coming home very soon). My other friend who was due a week after me had her twins two days ago -- they are also just fine and healty. And here I am crying because my pregnancy is HEALTHY and NORMAL? How twisted is that?!? 3 more weeks. Just three more weeks.InkMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519976062467674531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-68800405619550607702009-10-12T08:39:07.693-07:002009-10-12T08:39:07.693-07:00So true!
