i just got an email from my mother. it read as follows:
Kara Dear-
One of the pictures on your blog, (plus your description to me about how Nora and Max don't get along always) was an inspiration to me today to write this little "for fun" poem. I'll attach the poem and the photo that "inspired" the thoughts that may go through Nora's head about her relationship with her brother. Let me know what you think.
BROTHERLY LOVE
By
Helen W. xxxxxxx
My big brother is such a tease
Would you kick him out or sell him please?
He interrupts and calls me names
He says he’s best at all the games
Sometimes he colors all over my page
He dresses up crazy like he’s on stage
He makes silly faces and sings silly songs
He climbs and wrestles and gets head bongs
He laughs at me and takes my toys
He runs and pushes and makes big noise
He likes to pinch and likes to fight
He bothers me both day and night
He must be first and have the best
When my friends come here, he’s such a pest
He snitches treats from off my plate
When it’s time to go he makes us late
But if someone else says that he’s bad
It really, really makes me mad
Because inside I surely know
That he really, really, loves me so!
how awesome is that? she just whipped it up...no big deal. i know i've mentioned it before, but my mom is quite the poet. i need to feature more of her amazing pieces here. i'm so blessed to have her. the funny thing about this poem, and nora, and max...is that it reminds me of the relationship i had with my big brother dave when i was little. what keeps me sane through the bickering that happens between these two is the hope that they will one day be as close as dave and i are. we are great friends and i'm so grateful he is my big brother.

LOVE it. Yes, you're right, that Mother of yours is quite talented!
This poem gives me hope that two of my kids will someday get along and be close. There are times when they get along great, but then there are times when I feel like we are holding a constant cage fight. Love the poem!
How wonderful is your mom!

your mom's poem actually made me cry. How perfect, I should post it up in Savannah's room. It's exactly how see feels too! Thanks for sharing you and your family with us, we love you all.
Love the poem! I was the same with my brother & sisters growing up, and now they are some of the relationships I cherish the most. I guess that means there's hope!
Love, Danette
