You'll have each other forever

Girls, you will have each other forever. 

Just the other day you were both sitting on my lap and you two were fascinated by looking at each other and you both just sat there for about 2-3 minutes smiling whie staring into each other's eyes.  I knew that it was one of the many times in my life that I will be so happy that you have each other forever.  I sometimes feel as though it is my little gift to each of you to bless you with the opportunity to have a sibling to grow old with.  Someone that no matter what will always be there.
