Haiku Friday: Sisters

What is a sister?

Best friend and worst enemy
Sometimes both at once.

My girls love each other. This much I know. But they also dislike each other immensely at times. This, too, I can relate to. Having two sisters of my own, I know that love and hate can both be a part of a sister's relationship. But, I also know which of these is stronger.

I know that no matter how angry or frustrated or betrayed I feel I will come to my sisters' defense. I know that I will always be there for her and she for me. I know that we will forever be connected. Across all anger and pain and hurt, we will be sisters. And for that I am very thankful.

And I am thankful my girls will know that with each other as well. Even if they do occasionally pull each other's hair and bite...

**Thanks Eryn for pointing this out! These pics were from her wedding and taken by Kyle Hale who is, incidentally, amazing. So, if you're in Atlanta and looking for a good event photographer check out his site: www.kylehale.net **

Haiku Friday

Oh, how I loooove the art of Haiku. I know this isn't technically in the truest spirit of the form, but surely you can forgive me. After all, once you learn the rules it gives you the right to break them doesn't it? At least that's what I learned in school...

Blue water swirling
Gently spraying on my skin
Cleaning toilets sucks

I once saw a fly
on the best day of it's life
sitting in ice cream

Okay, so now head on over to A Mommy Story to read more cool Haikus. And check back every Friday for a new Haiku (or two or three or more).
