a sister's affirmation

Well, I have finally decided to give blogging a try... Hmmm, I'm not sure how this will go BUT... Why not, right?

So here goes...

This week started out a little hard for me. But my sister, Kandi, knows me better than anyone and she decided to create an encouragement suprise. When I came home from a meeting and went into my room she had prepared a beautiful display with a card reminding me that I am worthy of love and to keep hope alive for a dream still unwrapped... Perfect. Timing.



The Wait

it seemed
like years
before
I picked
a bouquet
of kisses
off her
mouth
and put
them
into a
dawn-
colored
vase
in
my
heart.
But
the wait
was worth it...

Because I was in love

  2. I loved the reflection and sentimentality of the moment created for you. It is a real gift to have someone in your life so sensitive to you that they take the time to make a tangible display of it just to show real heartfelt care and love for you.
