kaia came up to me out of the blue and said, "you know mama, i am the sun and kendi is the moon." 

me: why is that babe, why is kendi the sun and you the moon?

kaia: well... because kendi is warm and bright and makes me feel good, like the sun. and i am the moon because i am her big sister who watches over her and i will keep her safe during the night, no matter where i am. 

bless these two sisters and their loving hearts. they truly amaze me every. single. day. and for that, for all of it, i am truly grateful.
