Happy Birthday, Heather!
Since I didn't get a chance to talk to my sister today, on her birthday, I wanted to leave a few thoughts here. She's three hours earlier than I am, so she'll read it late tonight, long after I'm asleep.
When I was little, I wanted to be just like my sister. Ten years my senior, she was my idol. She wore a sweatshirt inside-out one day, accidentally. I thought she did it on purpose, like maybe it was all the rage, so I put on a sweatshirt inside out, too. Years later, I still find things to admire about her. Her patience. Her flawless skin. How she finds joy in all things.
Happy Birthday, Heather. I hope it was wonderful.
