The school days are hard, and often heartbreaking, and communication sheets are typically difficult to hand over because they reveal the toughest parts of the past 7 hours, and so when your big sister is patient and calm and kind and soft spoken, and agrees to help count all of your money, and listens to you with eye contact as you sincerely try to talk about lemonade stands and frogs, your entire afternoon is brighter, you stand with a little more self confidence, your Mom takes a breath, and the whole evening is different and more peaceful than it might've been. #sisters #gratefulformoments
