Kelly & Olivia







A couple of weeks ago Kelly made my heart almost break, she came up to me and told me you want to know something? (Duh, is what I wanted to say but I just nodded I knew that it was going to be serious) She said to me " I am so glad that I am on the swim team because Olivia is the FIRST and ONLY friend I have had that does not come with an older sister!"


Not sure what she meant, I asked her to clarify, she continued, "I have always loved Ella, but I am not sure if I am her best friend, sometime I just feel like she is my friend because our sisters are friends and we are just part of the package!" She went on..... I won't go into details but it made me really sad.
I have made a point since then to reach out to Olivia, for Kelly. Olivia came over last week and the girls had a blast. She taught Kelly how to do a back hand spring and a back flip on the trampoline, they played for hours with out any big sisters to tell them what they should do, just the two of them! The only down side to this friendship is Olivia's dad is in the Navy so they will be moving some day.... but until then Kelly has a friend!
