sisters reunited

Lilah's meimei, Phebe, had heart surgery last Thursday.

We were advised against bringing Lilah into the Intensive Care Unit to see Phebe,
due to the amount of tubes/wires/lines that she had in her little body.

So it was day two before Phebe made it out of the ICU and Lilah got to see her little sister.
I can tell you here and now, when Phebe set eyes on her big sister Lilah, it was the first time we saw her grin, since before surgery.

Colin and I struggled to keep it together, watching them.
We both had tears in our eyes seeing them reunited, seeing the love they shared.

How we love our girls.
