You can always come to me.


Tonight on our way home from an awesome ward party, I listened to my girls have the following conversation:

Havah, "Lilly, I was trying to talk to you and you did not reply and then (another girl) said 'go away you're annoying us!' That was so sad to me Lil."


Lilly," I am sorry Havi. I am sorry. If people say mean things, you can still come to me. You can always come to me."

Havah's hurt was so honest and Lilly was so sincere in her apology. So sorry that someone had been mean to her sister, that she hadn't responded... She explained that she hadn't heard Havah talking to her, and then reassured Havah again.

I love these little girls. They teach me every day. It's these times when I am especially grateful that they are as close in age as they are.I am sure when they are 13 and 14 I might not feel this way all the time, but, I hope we can continue to foster their friendship and sisterhood. It is so precious.

  1. That's so sweet.

    I am a horrible mom. I don't really want my girls to have friends outside of each other for a long time. I just love how well they play together and take care of each other. There'll be plenty of time for them to make friends as teenagers. For now, I love them being sister-friends!

  2. That is precious. I agree with Tif's comment, I love watching my boys play and interact with each other, they are each others best friends. They can make friends later in life.
