Our weekword from Sow and Sew had such a beautiful meaning for her in celebrating her daughter's 3rd birthday, it instantly made me think of my sister whose middle name is Joy. She was the complete and total antithesis of joy at times, my Puerto Rican abuelo went so far as to call her "devil child" in Spanish as a common nickname for her :) She was the most precious thing; delicate, spiral curled golden blonde hair, and a wicked "angel" face. I love her dearly, and I'm extremely thankful I have so many stories to tell (like the time she mooned my father's boss and his wife while they were in the car behind us looking at Christmas lights one year) from my childhood because of her. She is an amazing force of nature, and now she has a little thunderstorm of her own who looks just like she did when we were kids!!

This is my niece :)
I had no idea the word Joy was going to really conjure up this little window into my family, but it's been an amazing treat and reminds me how much I love my sister.
Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend and are enjoying the changing leaves.
What a lovely tribute to your Sister...sisters are really are quite wonderful aren't they? I would be lost indeed without mine.

ReplyDeleteThe two are very alike, and it sounds like history repeating itself, except your niece will have a very understanding Aunt?
