My life revolves around a holy trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are great and all, but nothing melts my heart like these three wonders of the world:
left to right: Momma T, Al, me, Shel-iza.
Thanksgiving 2009I have millions of words in my arsenal to express what these women mean to me - they are my sunshine, my best thoughts each day, and the most divine pieces of heaven on earth that I know.
In the words of the new, true Bruno Mars, "I would catch a grenade for them."
I mean, look at these people. How could they not steal my heart?
Shel, me, and Al - July 2010
Megginson Tacky Christmas 2010
Cherry Blossom Festival - March 2007Seriously though, the greatest gift I have received is the love of my mom and my sisters. Over the last six years we have all been through hell and back, to the gates of hell again, and then home safely once more. We've survived divorce, issues of church families and faith journeys, illness, worry, death, mourning, and now - finding renewed joy and purpose in life. It hasn't all been a struggle - we were all blessed to have the 8th wonder of the world in our home and lives throughout the journey. I think much of the credit of our strength as a family unit is due to this angel woman, Cleo Megginson, and the wonderful woman she raised our mom to be:
Mom and Maw Maw - May 2005
Celebrating our "great-nursing home-birthday-escape"- April 2010 We have definitely been on an arduous journey, but it's only led us to places of bare truth and sharing, which is what makes us so close. It also helps that my sisters are the two coolest people on the planet. As witnessed below:
Me and Ally - Halloween 1994 (?)
Loving America and Lake Burton 2010I like these women forever, I love these women for always, and as long as I'm living, my world(s) they will be.
Love this, Eva! I agree, there is nothing like the love of a sister (or 2). As one of three girls in my family I could absolutely not imagine my life without them! You are a blessed girl!
