my sisters

an afternoon phone call informing me that they will be on the mid-night train heading South,
my sisters arrived 8 hrs later with armfuls of new year goodies.
they brought kueh bangkit, savoury rice crispies, and my favorite childhood snacks.
i suppose in their eyes, i will always be their little sister!

my sisters, all seven of them are nurturing mothers, creative and resourceful, women of strength and character; Mom ought to be proud!
