Love Notes SOL #11

Thank you to Two Writing Teachers for hosting the March Slice of Life Challenge.  And thank you to Ruth Ayres for hosting Celebration Saturday.


Today was the day that all of our belongings got packed up and put into storage. We have the bare necessities with us at our apartment.

A and D are sad that we are leaving this house.  A says it's the first place she's been happy.  We try to impress upon her that it isn't the house, but the people in the house that make the difference.  But, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.  I believe our home has been a refuge for her.

As I glanced through each of the bedrooms tonight, my breath caught in my throat when I looked behind A's door.


Curled up and barely sticking to the door was this little love note D had written to her sister shortly after they moved in.  It has been stuck to A's door for the last 5 months.  These two girls have been through so much and sometimes they've only had each other to rely on.  

Tonight I celebrate safe havens and the strong bond between siblings who can depend on each other when there is no one else to depend on.   And I celebrate little love notes, quickly scribbled on a sticky note and left as a reminder that no matter what, a sister's love is always there.

  11. The above notes looking sound unique and very different approach. I really like this creative thinking. I fully hope if anyone use this approach then his partner must accept his/her proposal. Now i want to know about prices on paper writing from a good site for my sister who sometime suffer while writing essays.
