Missing My Sister, Day 63

Like Olivia and I, Ava and Maude look nothing alike. There's something about Maude that makes you smile, while Ava is very strikingly beautiful.

Ava is very protective of Maude, always looking out for her. We were walking down the high street one weekend and Maude had been walking along the side of the sidewalk closest to the road. I had watched as Ava had instinctively taken Maude's hand and guided her away from the road.

It is very sweet to see how much they both adore each other, particularly because my sister and I are very close like that as well. It is so touching to see how much they love each other, how well they understand each other and how protective they are of one another at such a young age.

Ah I miss my sister!!

I keep on meaning to share this:

On Christmas eve we were at a church and they were taking donations in envelopes for a children's foundation.

Ava had said, "Mummy, what are you doing?"
Samantha: "I am donating money to children who are less fortunate than you."
Ava: "Do you mean children like Maude?"
