Journaling reads:
We are cousins by blood, born just 6 weeks apart, our fathers gone to war.
Our mothers waited together, supported each other, hoping for our fathers to return safely.
After the war, we lived across the cornfield from each other, sharing school rooms & playtime.
Now in our retirement years, we are still best friends, keepers of each others’ secrets.
The love we share is more cousins, more than many sisters - we are Sisters in our Hearts
