on may 17th

twenty months after i was brought into this world god sent me a sister and best friend. that day was today twenty three years ago. i can't imagine how life would have been without her in it; there wouldn't have been bike crashing competitions for sure, or tea parties with stuffed animals and dolls, nor can i imagine creating the explorers without such a trusty side kick as the treasurer. i don't remember the first time i saw my little sister but i've seen the picture of when my mother placed her, waddled in a baby blanket safe and happy, in my toddler arms for the first time. forever will may 17th be my favorite day.

happy birthday sissy!!!
