I remember being so thrilled to finally have a sister join our family when Nadia was born and then after her came yet another sister with Madilyn's birth. Although I was already a teenager, those two little girls were very special to me and I remember having a lot of fun with them. Our relationship always has felt the difference of 12 and 15 years but I imagine as we get older we'll feel closer together in our relatability. Because of this 12 year age gap between me and my closest sister I prayed and hoped for Delilah to have a sister sooner than later, while also preparing her and my hearts for the possibility of Delilah being our only daughter.
Then, delight of all delights, we were gifted Clara!
I am excited for Delilah to have a sister close in age and Delilah has been just tickled pink with Clara this entire time. It is also special to see how even though she is still little Clara is so drawn to Delilah too.
While there may not be any more daughters planned for our family my heart is at peace and full of joy to witness the sisterhood our girls get to share.
