Today is my sister's-in-law
VANESSA'S
30th birthday!
Although after 16 years, she feels more like a biological sister!
We have shared with each other the ups and downs of life.
We have experienced highs and lows with each other.
I have laughed with her,
cried with her
and relied on her more than I can count.
She has been my friend.
One of my best friends for half of her life!
(Her life, because...she is younger than me.)
There has been a lot of:
crafting,
shopping,
meal sharing,
diaper changing,
"are you thinking what I'm thinking" glancing,
chocolate indulging,
wine drinking,
secret telling,
note writing,
creating,
exercising,
parent advising,
relationship relating,
telephone conversating,
photo taking,
silence breaking,
apologizing,
news relaying,
memory making,
gift exchanging,
hug offering,
idea giving,
outfit complimenting,
tear wiping,
nonsensical giggling
spiritual growing,
recipe sharing,
dream expressing,
confiding,
and life celebrating
moments!
I look forward to making more!!
Happy 30th!
Love ya sis!
