by Singer Chick~ Okay, so since I didn't get a chance to get on here yesterday I declare today Social Chick's Birthday (Day 2). I'm sure she won't mind having 2 days for her birthday.
To my wonderful sister on your birthday. I don't even have words that can adequately describe you and what you mean to me. On February 7, 19?? God blessed me with one of the best gifts of my life in you. I probably wasn't too sure about that new tiny wrinkly baby at first. But then I decided that you were alright and gave you my most prized possession, my blanket. Who cares if I took it back a couple hours later. It was the thought that counts. :-)
As we grew we were the best of friends. Then came puberty. First for me and I wouldn't let you near me, my stuff or my friends (until it was bed time). Then you and you wouldn't let me near you or your business (until it was bed time). We grew out of that phase and realized what a treasure we have in each other. You help me be a little more aggressive and I *try* and reign you in at times. We are as different as night and day, but night and day need each other, right. You are more than just a sister, but my best friend.
I've watched you become an awesome young women. You're a terrific wife and mother. I admire your relationship with God and your willingness to be bold no matter the cost. You have a gift in making others feel special and today (and yesterday) I hope that you feel as special as you are. I'm proud of you and proud to call you my sister. Happy Birthday!
Let's walk down memory lane. Excuse the quality of the pictures. They're pretty old!
Thank you so much! you made me cry! I love you sooooo much! Was this my suprise? If so it was great!

You're very welcome! I made myself cry.
This is the surprise. I was scanning those pics at your house last night. There's one pic I really wanted, but couldn't find. Do you remember the one where we are both sitting in the brown leather chair in our pjs drinking coffee?

I hate to break into your conversation here, but you made me cry too! :-)
(and sassy is going to be bitter all over again that she doesn't have a sister!)

Aww! Sisters do have a special bond. My sis and I were talking about that puberty stage not too long ago. How we wish we would have known then what we know now. That's life! I am so glad you two are BF's. You both are such beautiful annointed women of God! BE BLESSED!!

Very sweet! I agree with the other chicks about that first pic - the first thing I noticed was how much you little one favors you when you were younger!

Weird you said that photochick - it was EXACTLY my first thought. SUCKS not to have a sister. Sucks.
