When I was a little girl, my mother made quite of few of my and my sister's clothes for us. I particularly remember a pair of flower dresses we had one year. The dresses were identical except for the colors - one was yellow and the other was blue. Everyone asked us if we were twins. (We aren't.)
Anyway, the summer those dresses were sewn, my mother had scheduled for us to have our pictures professionally taken. The photo appointment was made... the dresses were made... and we got pink eye - One of us in the right eye and the other in the left eye! My mom kept the appointment with the photographer. I'm glad she did.
When I think about that picture, I also think about the summer my sister and I got chicken pox together. We sat at the screen door at the front of our house and watch all our cousins playing outside. We were covered with calamine lotion and we were miserable - but we had each other!
You never know when life is going to give you a great memory, so make sure to take advantage of all of them!
