My sister...

Once upon a time their was a little girl who didn't want to be alone with her very crazy parents. She dreamed and wish and prayed for a brother or sister to join her family, hoping that God would listen. Little did she know what God had in store for this little girl...

"A sister you will be, to not one, but two siblings," said God.

And within a year, through adoption, her family had doubled in size! At first it was great, she could blame her mischief on her little brother, or tell on her little sister (which she did in abundance!) But one day, her little sister, realized that the one person she wanted to be in the whole world - was her big sister.



Wherever, she went, her little sister would follow; her hair was the same; her clothes were the same - It was unbearable, poor me she cried!

But at least she said, I don't have to be alone, do the chores on my own, that I have a friend to travel with me wherever I go...or so the little sister hoped she'd think. The years went by and they parted their ways, made families of their own, and lived very far apart. But they always find time to talk almost daily, and visit each other when time and money allow it.

To you, my big sister, I love you and am so grateful that I had you as my example, and although, I embarrassed you on several occasions while in our teenage years, I'm so fortunate to have you as my friend!

Happy Birthday Jenn!

And to my cute little niece, who's not that little anymore - Happy very late Birthday!
