Sissy and Baby Bella

She was salt, I was always pepper. Her logically based, me emotionally based. I was the firecracker, she was the quiet one. She liked classical music, and opera and I I liked rock and metal. We were so different and yet so close. It was hard to lose that. Or at least feel like I lost it.


This is my sister Lauren and her only Daughter. She has three boys and this beautiful little girl. For the first time in a long time I felt like a family again, I think growing up I had the idea that we would always be a big happy family and always celebrate Christmas and new years etc. That hasn't happened and in so many ways it has been something I've grieved over the last few years. While I've changed alot and in many ways grieved that dream, today for just a few short hours it was like being a family again. It meant so much. I couldn't help but post this.
