Today is my sisters birthday, 39 years ago today she made me a big sister, something I truly didn't appreciate at the time. Being the great big sister that I was, rolling my eyes here, I would remind her with much frequency that I was the older, therefore better sibling. I won't even go into the fact that I had been the only child for 4 years and and giving up that status was not going to happen too easily. One time I told her she was adopted...years later she said "I was crushed, completely." I was shocked because to look us it is quite obvious we are related. To the adult big sister I am today I look back and wonder at what a shit I was to her, wonder why my parents allowed it, wonder why she didn't just kill me when I was sleeping.
Today I am just amazed by her. I admire her view towards life. Envy the strength she has. She is mom to two of my favorite little people in the world. Today i cherish being a big sister, it's nice to know someone else journeyed thru those growing up years with you, knows your stories, knows your life.
So happy birthday linette, may today and always bring you that what your heart requires. May you have laughter today and every day, and may you find calm in moments of your day to day activities.
You are an inspiration to many..... from you I have learned much.
