Someone to Play With



A few days ago Maren came to me and said, "Caroline is getting to be so much fun to play with, just like Sarah."  She then explained that in a short time her little sister would be big enough to play dress up, have a tea party, and play dolls. The realization of this milestone brought unexpected tears.  Maren began looking through photo albums and memory books to remind her of special moments with Sarah.
How loving and merciful is our Father in Heaven to have sent another sister for Maren to adore and another daughter for me to love.
