This photograph represents love

My little sisters encompass everything i see love as; They are so full of life and a laughter that can be best described as uninhibited bliss. Tessa and Matthea have brought more happiness to my life than i could put into words. Adopting these baby girls from the territories of southeastern China involved a lot of sacrifice and patience.   The effect my family has had on them and vice versa cannot be described in any other way than love.
     My step father and I met when I was about eight years old.  He is very old school and has a hard work ethic.  Throughout my childhood growing up, he was strict, religious, and a workaholic.  My stepfather and I never really got along growing up, on account of our many differences and in my opinion, it was because he can never accept anything less than perfect.  However, when my sisters came into our family he changed from being strict and hard-edged to being soft to them and bending to their will.  My sisters completely changed him for the better.  There is a similar trend with my mothers father.  A man who used to smoke two packs and work two factory shifts a day is now wearing a crown because he won "Pretty Pretty Princess".
     My sisters have had a great effect on me.  I've learned alot from them, alot of things I used to know but then i "learned" to be an adult.  Its great to spend a day playing pirates then go on an African safari and you forget these things as you get older.  Through spending time with them and teaching them I've developed a specific love for my sisters that could not be replaced by any one else.
     All in all, my sisters represent love.  They strengthened the bonds of love in my family, each other, and with me personally.
