Last March I was with my sisters in Adelaide and we were so excited. I was 8 weeks pregnant and Heather was 20 weeks, and Bridget was thrilled to cuddle our bellies. Now my boy is six months and her girl is 9, almost 10 months, and she lives in rural Victoria and I’m here in wellington and as soon as we can, we are going to cuddle each other and our babies SO HARD.
Loved this, made me very teary. My sister died some years back, and I still miss her every day. Plus we have a daughter in Chile and a son, daughter-in-law and two young grandchildren in the USA - the "mundane sadness" really resonated. I've sent your piece on to them :)
Beautifully written, Emily. Makes me wish I had a sister ❤️
I feel very lucky to have mine ❤️
Absolutely incredible writing. Don’t ever doubt yourself as a writer, Emily. You’re a natural.
You’re so kind. Thank you x

So hard! I think I’ll cry my eyes out when I finally get to cuddle my niblings. Sending you lots of love.
So comforted to read this, thank you.
Sending love Lora.
This was just beautiful 💜
Thank you Toni ❤️
Oh my heart! Words fail me (so glad they don't fail you)
