My sister France and I area very close.
We haven’t always been like that. As girls, we fought a lot. I used her as my personal slave. Then, I left (not really but that’s a long story) home at 16. Maybe we missed each other because we got a little closer. Then, when Jacob was born (she wasn’t even 16 yet), she liked hanging out with him. She’s always been close to him. As adults, we’ve had our differences and we’ve cried because of the other. But, I figure now, she’s quite possibly my closest friend.
(Then and now)
I’ve been a little bummed out about something for a while now and she’s been there for me. Today, I had a little “freak-out”. (We e-mail about 12 times a day). I went to the gym on my lunch for some exercise and distraction. When I came back, this was sitting on my work chair:
(I just finished the first one and was talking about having to get the second…)
She even got me a card. It was such a perfect card too. It’s like someone was talking about us when they wrote it. Anyway, I’m thinking I’ll reconsider my position on knitting for other people and make her the felted clogs she’s been asking me to make her for over a year. Honestly, they only take a few hours. I think she’s worth that… and a million more hours of my time!
After I finish the gown!!!
