A very happy birthday goes to my precious sister! Wow, where would I be if you were never born? Here's to singing on the hassock, running away from home and returning within 20 minutes, our secret knocking code on the wall between our bedrooms, countless movies, plays, concerts, and other things you patiently endured, suriving one day of daycare together, many years of homeschooling, and that first scary day at public school when we swore that whichever of us found people to eat lunch with first would make room for the other.
Here's to showing up at each other's colleges late at night, sharing the top bunk, living in GR on slim fast, dancing, ice cream, and Special K, and trying so hard to read the map. And my favorite: laying in a tent on an island beach, watching the lightning through the thin nylon SO close to our faces and holding hands so at least we would die together. I'm glad we didn't die. You are so dear to me and I am thankful for every moment with you.

Happy Birthday to your sister! I do not have a sister, and I really feel like I have missed out! I am very thankful to have two little girls close in age. I hope they grow up knowing the kind of sisterly bond that you have described. What a blessing!
Oh, that takes me back - it was always interesting to see what kind of a get-up you girls would come up with -Kendall always had bangles/beads/or high- heel shoes and you always did something you must have read about in books - there was always a good reason -didn't know about the secret wall tapping, ummmm, was that in Florida when you first had separate bedrooms? Yes, you did have a special relationship - you forgot to mention the time you played beauty shop and you were cutting Kendall's hair when I discovered what you were doing. I guess there are just too many memories to re-count on the comment page. It was a delight and a blessing to have you as daughters.
Love,
MOM
