The Sisters

Some people are just better than others. I mean this from the point of view of being kind, caring, considerate, compassionate — the type of people who genuinely wish the best for others and who are willing to extend their helping hands in meaningful ways.

Both Sue and Heather are such people. I am so fortunate to be married to Sue and to, therefore, also be Heather's brother-in-law. When they are together, the good times roll, and there is abundant giggling and laughter.

I have already posted of our meetup at Wheelers, where Heather and Brian were willing to make more than 2 hour hour drive just to treat Sue to a birthday brunch and celebrate her birthday. This is a photo that I took then.

I would also like to link you to a blog post that Heather wrote in honour of Sue: The Jewel I Know. It's really sweet.

Last but not least, I am linking you to Heather's entry in a short story competition held by The Australian Book Review. Her story Butterfly as Metaphor received a judges' commendation and is their featured story of the month. Beyond saying that it's both touching and brilliant, I can't describe it meaningfully. You just have to take the 15-20 minutes to love it. Heather writes differently, so stick with it beyond the first few paragraphs, and you'll be rewarded. Here's the link one more time.
