We were young then, oh, so young;
teens on the cusp of adulthood.
Did you even have an inkling that
your acceptance would bind us for life?
Indelible moments accrued over time,
memories circumscribed by love
...I was the girl who came to dinner
and never left.
Siblings by circumstance,
family by choice...
I would not be who I am, without you.
NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 10
April 10th is National Sibling Day
I am an only child blessed by 4 sisters and a brother who allowed me to "stay." Forever grateful that fate intervened all those years ago.
