This is so beautiful. I don’t think there’s a better way to love a little sister.

Your poor mother, though — I can only imagine her panic at what could have possibly happened at the sleepover!

Sarah 😭 oh my lands this is the sweetest story I have ever read. Made me tear up. What an amazing thing your sister did!

I might join you in writing stories where I'm not the hero either, if that's okay ... Love this idea a lot.

This is incredibly touching, I loved reading it. Reminds me of my own big sister, who has in so many ways sacrificed for me. My husband grew up with mostly boys and I know he loves his brothers dearly, but I keep telling him there’s nothing in the world like the bond of sisters. It feels like something Jo March would say, but it’s true!

Your mom is a hero as well, to have raised her daughters to self-sacrificing love. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!
