Haden and Sadie,
I don't know what it's like to have a brother or a sister. The bond of a sibling was never in the cards for me. I don't regret that- it's just what life had for me. But I did always know that I wanted my own kids to experience that love from a sibling. Your friendship is growing by the day and it warms my heart to see your interactions.
Someday, when you're equally convinced that your dad and I are mean/selfish/unfair, I pray you will be able to look at each other with a simple nod and a smile and know that you share a secret bond. You are being raised in the same house, with the same rules, the same hallway, the same stuff, the same love. I pray you someday will look back on these days with fond memories together. You will laugh and talk about the ways you attempted to injure each other or fought over toys. You will remember our family adventures and share memories from simple moments spent together. I pray that when times are hard, you can call each other and rest in knowing that the other one cares and loves you deeply.
I can't wait to see how your friendship grows and changes over this lifetime. In the mean time, I promise to try my best to do what I can to cultivate your friendship. Also, I plan on working my hardest at making sure neither sits on/smothers/seriously injures the other. I'm sure you will thank me someday...
