I've been thinking lately about whether or not our family is complete. Whether there is a gaping hole or if every role in our small, but special, family is filled? Whether one of you will have a same gender sibling? Lots of thoughts are circulating in my mind and tugging on my heart about this. The wonderful thing, however, is that I don't have to make that decision just yet. Maybe it will just be the two of you. Or maybe there will be another small one to grace our family. Only time and prayer will tell that tale. Until then, let's pretend it will just be you two. Brother and sister. Please remember these things:
Love each other. And don't be afraid to show it.
Take up for each other. Cash, if someone is messing with your sister, stick up for her. Fight some of her fights. Be in her corner. No matter what. And Presley Mae, your brother isn't allowed to hit girls. So you may have to do this for him sometimes.
Be each others best friend.
Do things together.
Cash, let your sister tag along. She thinks you are the coolest thing around. So let her hang with you and your friends every now and then.
Be each others biggest fan. Brag on each other.
Speak positively about each other in public so people know how much you care for each other.
Fight. Fight for each other. Fight with each other. But FIGHT with passion.
Respect each other. You may not like each other all of the time, but you will respect each other.
Visit each other when you are older. Keep in touch and see each other regularly.
And most of all... remember that we love you. So much. No matter what. And we are thrilled that we got chosen out of millions of parents to take care of you and raise you and love you and lead you.
Love,
Mom and Dad
