And you?

Sometimes when I'm reading cjane, I wonder about all the things she does for nie. I mean, there's a pretty ridiculous amount of work that goes into caring for your sister's children and completely changing your lifestyle for her. Then I wonder about nie. Her life is so changed... she missed three whole months of it! Either way, these girls have lost a lot and gained a lot since August.

That got me to thinking about what my sisters and I would do for one another. Anna made the comment yesterday that "You and your sisters are ridiculous about giving each other things." I don't think this is quite true, though. In fact, I think we rarely give each other anything. But that doesn't bother me. I think we're pretty set in the whole "we love one another" thing.

Anyway. This is for Caroline- ma jumelle. If you want my Toms for Iraq, you may have them (and I will not take your flip flops!). If you want to get away, I will buy some plane tickets to Paris, shop for an apartment, and have a Nespresso cafe au lait ready for you before you can blink your eyes. If you find you can't have children, I will be your surrogate (as long as I can name one Emmeline). If you need me to throw granola at anybody that offends you, anywhere in the world, I will throw with gusto. With vim and vigor I will violently toss hearty chunks of granola at said foe.

And if you give me a gift I can't quite say thank you for, I will make you a playlist. :) My humble offering. Accept?
