Lucky girls

Hi Kerr,

Today I had the best moment of my life, thus far.  And I know these girls will continue to provide many more.  Kenna & Harley were making each other laugh.  They were talking to one another and belly-laughing.  I’m still reveling in the feeling.  I’m so happy and so in love with them.  They’re so lucky to have one another.  They’re each lucky to have a sister.  I am lucky to have had you.

This past weekend I had a client’s wedding.  Normally, speech time can pose its difficulties for me when the maid of honor is the bride’s sister.  It wasn’t the case in this wedding and so I thought nothing of it, but the groom’s brother was his best man and gave the toast.  He explained how they have a 12 year age gap... ironic (with 2 siblings in between).  And that they only started to get close in recent years because what 18 year old wants to hang with a 6 year old? :) we started getting close when Andrew was born.  I was 10.  I got 26  years with you.  16 of which, you were my best friend.

The day we found out Kenna & Harley were girls, I knew you had a hand in it.  You sent me sisters, and today I got to see their bond really begin to bloom.  Having a sister is a bond no one can really describe and no one can really replace.  I was lucky to have you.  They’re lucky to have each other.
