There was a time when they were younger and I would sneak into their bedroom and take a last peek at them sleeping before I myself would go to sleep. Their peaceful faces give me the happiness I can never get anywhere but from them. I go out in silence not wishing to disturb their beautiful and peaceful dreams.

When the time comes when I will just be a memory,
I know I can rest in peace knowing that my older daughter dotes on her younger sister and my younger one looks up to and adores her older sister.
