(first day of school)
when Sydnie was about 1 and Sophia
was 4....she turned, wrapped her arms
around her, looked at her and said
"ill stand by you".
(que mom....goosebumps, tears!!!)
now they are 10 and 7 and even
though they fight like cats and dogs....
(and let me tell ya...they DO!)
i know she would still say
to her little sister...
"ill stand by you".
so...tell me,
who do you stand by???
xxoo

Great post, I used to get in fights with boys at school defending my little brother, he was a bit of a wimp and so were his friends so I fought all their battles for them lol....now he's 6ft 3 inches tall and no one would mess with him, it's his turn to stand by me :)
ReplyDeleteNowadays I stand by many who are close to me, family and friends my dog... and hopefully some others who are not so close, in the way of helping with charities and the like, lots of people and animals too need someone to stand by them, I might as well try and do my bit :)
Your girls are GORGEOUS! Just like you :))
ReplyDeletei'm w/jane ~ your girls are gorgeous like you!
ReplyDeletelove their melty thing said!
& as for your question
......................
i stand by
the One who whispers
rivers of poems
seashells that wash in
whales swimming deep
a brief flower
a warm rain
honest dreams
vulnerable loving.
xoxooo

ReplyDeleteI stand by freedom of speech and the pursuit of art, the awesome love of family and friends, unity in diversity, my sis and all her special friends, and all animals great and small.
And I stand by the thrill of the first day of school. Whata' adventure!!
It's hard to believe that school is starting already!
ReplyDeleteI stand by love. And beauty. And delight. And kindness. And joy.
