Sisters

I never knew I needed my sister in-laws until I became a mom. Yup, I was naive to all the dizzingly wonderful complexities of parenthood. A phone call may seemed like nothing.  An email maybe was of convenience.  Nope, not to me.  Their words held onto me.  Gratitude isn't enough.
I never knew I needed my sisters until they show up at my door, take my first born and kick Chris and me out of the house to have some quality time.  Van was in loving hands.  My sisters were giving me what I never knew I needed- time to be still.  Gone for exactly 50 minutes, we had lunch at Little Bigs.  It felt fabulous to be outside and unnerving to be without Van.  Gratitude isn't enough.

Good lord, she's gonna eat me

My sisters and sister in-laws give Van what I cannot.  The love from adoring aunts.  Van needs them too.  He is counting down the days until his Tennessee Chrismas.
