The ceremony was followed by Feast of Roses, which is a banquet for the new members and their parents. When all the sisters stood up to sing “Today” it gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes, for the thousandth time that day. What a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful sisterhood.
Sunday night was lapboard revealing. I was so nervous about it, but they loved them… I think. It is also tradition that Littles give their Bigs a present. I got some wonderful presents from my Littles! They are awesome! The best thing of the whole night was seeing Linds scream when she got a zebra double back from Brandi. Linds does not scream. Oh what a wonderful night!
Tuesday our newest sisters finally joined us in chapter! I have never seen the room so full! When we stood in a circle, we could barely fit around the room! I have tried to form some wonderful thoughts about what these women mean to me, but all my feelings can best be summed up by this: “From the outside looking in, you could never understand it. From the inside looking out, you could never explain it.”
I'm so glad that you have a core group of such wonderful ladies there-- inside and outside of your sisterhood!
