Happy Birthday Em! My “baby” sister turns 16 this weekend! I cant believe it, I remember when she was just a few hours old, screaming, and driving me nuts. I remember her as a little kid that my parents thought was so cute, and then her as an opinionated middle schooler as I was leaving for college. She no longer has a mullet or whatever that haircut was, she doesn’t wear Barney Velcro shoes, and her stuffed animal obsession has finally ended. She has grown up a lot, she is in high school, no longer screams (as much), and is significantly cuter than she was the first time I met her. She is smart (really really smart), dedicated, organized, passionate, and knows how to get what she wants. I think in some ways she is what I wish I could be, don’t get me wrong I like me but she has some qualities that I wish I had (or recognized). She is my fashion consultant (and I need it), my sounding board, the person I vent to, the one who gives me honest feedback, my cooking buddy, and really the best sister I could have ever asked for. Happy Birthday Em, I am so thankful to be your sister! *
*even though you don’t actually have an older sister role model and you need someone else to fill that void in your life ;)
*Em aren’t you happy your birthday wont come around for another year and you wont have to read any other sappy post?
"Hey girl, it's me, I just called to tell you hi,
call me when you get this,
havent talked lately, so hard to find the time....
by the way I miss you too,
I was thinking just today, about how we used to play barbie dolls and makeup, tea parties, dress up,
I remember how we'd fight and make up and laugh all night...
do you think you could come and see me sometime soon,
we could just hang out how we used to,
its late and I should go, but I cant hang up the phone,
until I tell you what I dont tell you enough,
even though at times it seems like we were more like enemies
I'd do it all again, my sister, my friend"
- My Sister, Reba
