Happy Birthday, Tink!!




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.
