Big sister love . . .

When Philippe was born, I was 4 years old.  We lived close to a general store in Calumet Island, Que.  I already had one sister, Little Pauline was 3.  I went to the store with my dad one day, and picked up a baby soother  which I held in my hand. I was so proud to have found a present for my new baby!  

When we got home, my parents found me trying to give the soother to my baby.  They made me tell them that I had stolen it. . . but I hadn't.  They made me take it back to the store and apologize.  The owner knew me very well and took it back for "lesson sake"  It was a very sad event for me.  But I believe it was the only time I ever picked up anything without paying for it.

I really loved Philippe then and still love him  just as much. It hurts so much to accept that he has gone . . .
