missing my sisters

Just yesterday,i had met up with our family friend (actually its shiela's bestfriend way back in high school)she had just arrived friday and upon seeing her i felt this nudge in my heart...how i wish sheila and caroline can come here as well.Kristine handed me the parcel that shiela took effort of buying for her beloved niece,maeve and nephew niall.But what had almost brought me to tears were the photos and the card sheila had sent.hayyy.sigh,sigh.hidlaw gd ko sa ila.
Just to show how one card had almost made me cry like a river here's what it said:

For my Sister

The world that we grew up in now seems a little small,
but it was big in laughter,love,and sharing.
We didn't have a lot of things that you'd call luxuries,but we were rich
in character and caring.
Looking back,i'm grateful for the way we were raised and how our close-knit
family saw us through.
It gave us the foundation that we built on through the years,
and i'm lucky to have shared it all with you.

Thank you gid and we love you Manang!
