It is my sister's birthday today! When she was little I tried to get her to call me mama, when we were in high school we got on each other's nerves, she was my birthing partner and in my delivery room when I had my son, and we are each other's children's God Mothers, we've shared secrets, laughed and cried together.
I would have posted a picture of me and Tara today but she lives in a far away land... well, just on the east coast but still too far for a picture.
Instead of a Tara pic here is my piano instead! My mom put in a mirror on the back of the piano which I'm sure seemed like a great idea at the time. However, when I was younger Tara would dance while I would play, and then I'd stop. I'd start playing again and Tara would dance, and then I'd stop. Now I play, and Cole dances, and then I stop. Because of course you can see the 'dancer' in the mirror which is so distracting! But I love my Tara and my Cole and some day maybe I'll let them dance while I play... maybe...
