This post was initially going to be a back to school post---focusing on Hope and Charlie--since they started their first day of Kindergarten today! (sniff sniff!)
But as I was going through some old photos of them, it evolved into something more. Something that I haven't ever been quite able to explain in words....since seeing it in pictures is much more eloquent than I could ever be........
In fact....their names run together even in my mind...as in "HopeandCharlie.....get in here!!"
Their personalities are very different...yet they have the same sense of humor--and can find something silly in everything!
They have each others backs at all times....and often get very
upset when the other gets in trouble.....
If that is not the definition of being brothers and sisters....I don't know what is....
They share a home, they share a huge space in their Mama's heart.......
even if they didn't BOTH grow in my belly....
the term "blood is thicker than water" does not apply here......
They are siblings....almost "twins" at just four months apart......
And to think that I was so worried before we adopted Hope that having them so close in age might be a bad idea. I didn't realize that God had it all planned out...just as it was meant to be. HOPEandCHARLIE......
together as far back as they have memories.....
best friends.....
brother and sister......
starting Kindergarten today...together...watching out for each other, having the security in each other that only a sibling could bring.
Don't tell them they aren't "real" brother and "sister". They are the real deal...in every single way that matters.
Though my mama heart is breaking today at them being gone all day...I have such peace because they are together......just as they should be, just as it was meant to be.
