There is a little song written by Eric Clapton and JJ Cale I stumbled across and I play for Sophia called 3 Little Girls. Sophia simply loves the song because it is about 3 little girls, Mommy, Sophia and Mia. A short verse- "When this world's got me feeling low, I don't need nowhere else to go cuz I get all the love I need from 3 little girls. In the garden collecting snails, on the bed reading fairy tales." Today I am referring to 3 other little girls; my sisters, Karen, Elaine and Sue. In each one, when you look into their eyes you can see their souls. Souls that are beautiful, warm and would do anything for anyone. Who would have ever thought that ten years ago wen I got married I would have asked my sister to watch Sophia, my pride and joy for 4 weeks. Not every family has the bonds and closeness we do or feel close enough to even ask. What a tremendous task I put in front of my sister Karen and all of my sisters who have pitched in and helped while we are gone. On a regular basis Elaine and Sue pitch in and help out with Sophia and I am sure it will be the same with Mia. This is my opportunity to say thank you for all you have done and for me to say how cool it is that I have 3 sisters with such warm and kind souls. Each different, each special and each a wonderful gift. Even though they claim they spoiled me when I was young and the stories seem to get more exagerated the older they get, I still love them all. Thank-you.
Also a special thank-you to Karen who did a wonderful job taking care of Sophia while we were away. I do not believe there are any gifts suitable to express our appreciation. In addition I would like to thank my brother-in-law, no, I mean brother, Eric, who stepped into help and make a tough time for Sophia a memory of fun and happiness. Thank-you both.
Happy Mother's Day to all my sisters! Love Ya!! David
