Humble Beginnings

A Sister's Love

For the past few days my son has had an in-grown toenail.  The swelling had gone down and wasn't as tender but it was still bothering him last night.  So, hubby had him sit down and proceeded to remove the ingrown toenail.  Well, you know how sensitive that can be.  Poor baby was crying and hurting and I'm holding his hand, telling him it'll be OK in a few minutes and I turn around to hear Lauren say, "Why am I crying?"  She had HUGE tears streaming down her face.  She was so upset for her big brother that she just couldn't help but cry and hurt with him.  It was the sweetest thing.  She truly loves her big brother.  The whole thing lasted about 5 minutes.  Thirty minutes after it was done and over with, James' foot was feeling TONS better ... all that pressure was gone.

I just thought it was so touching.  They are very close.  Yes, they fight and argue, but they're always there to make the other one laugh and now I know that they'll cry along with each other as well.  Don't you just love families?
