Little Joell is reluctant to say goodbye to his 18 year old twin sisters (Joan & Jean) as they prepare to go away to college. He is 5 years younger than them. Joell is severely close to his twin sisters. They have a brother and sister bond both parents honor proudly. Joell has been very quiet and sad for the pass week. He cried himself to sleep the night Joan and Jean had their trunk party. He was stubborn and didn’t attend the party. Joan and Jean understood how hard it was for him. The day has finally arrived for Joell to wish his sisters well as they go away to school.
JOELL: (Holding back tears)
I will miss the two of you! It will NOT be the same without you guys…my big sisters. The two of you help make my life better! Thanks for always looking out for me. Thanks for teaching me about girls n-stuff.
JEAN & JOAN: (Sadly…simultaneously)
We will miss you too Joell!
JOELL: (Sorrowfully)
Joan, I won’t be able to go in your room and fight with you each morning about taking a shower before you. Now, I won’t be able to help you with your nightly workout routine Jean! This sucks! Who is going to motivate you now?
JEAN: (Melancholy)
Joell, you can call us anytime! Why is this so hard?
JOAN: (Hugging Joell)
We will always love you and have time for you Joell. Nothing is going to change that…nothing! You are our baby brother. We adore you!
JOELL: (Tears pouring down)
I know…I know! I will always be surrounded by your love. Please take this. Wear it as much as possible to help you remember us growing up in this house, together. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Joell had 3 t-shirts specially made with his picture in the middle of the shirt on the front. He added five pictures each, of his twin sisters around the shirt. On the back of the t-shirt he labeled it “Sister and Brother 4 Ever” and on the front it said “I am surrounded by their love” with memories of him and his sisters in pictures together over 13 years.
JOAN & JEAN: (Sobbing)
OH MY GOSH JOELL!
JEAN: (Examining t-shirts)
How did you do this…
JOAN: (Looking at t-shirts)
When did you have time to do this?
JOELL: (Happily)
I did it on the computer. Mom helped me with the pictures. I wanted to give you all something special.
JEAN: (Gobsmacked)
I remember this picture! When you were about 18 months I was trying to help mom feed you. You spit out your food at me. Mom took this picture. This is beyond awesome! Thanks little brother. You are amazing. I love you so much!
JOAN: (Joyful)
Oh, and I remember this picture of us when we all went to Disney World four years ago for our family vacation. You and I were hand-picked to sing a song with Minnie and Mickey on stage. Thank you for this Joell! You are so creative! I love you and will miss you so much!
Love moves and love soothes. You know a little love can change the atmosphere and any mood. Shall we never forget how to surround ourselves by it…with it! :0)
