lucky 32.

for my little sister…

anyone knows upon meeting you that you are so special

 and it’s plain how gorgeous you are…

 and so freaking SMART

and kind-hearted

and it’s easy to see how generous you are of spirit.

but what i love most about you…

 is how much you look like jesus

 and act like him

 and love like him

 and, also?

 you are so stinking hilarious!

* * * * * * * * * *

 you are the best example i know of the love and goodness and grace of god.

you are my closest confidante, and my very best friend in the world.

it is such a pleasure to know you, loved by so  many, heart made of gold.

you are a gift to this world.

i am so proud of you, sister mine, and i love you with all my heart.

happy 32nd birthday, sarah hope!

    These preggo hormones do absolutely nothing for my eyes, as these tears streaming down my face will have them swollen for a while. Oh, well. ;) This is beautiful. What a way to express your love for her. Happy Birthday to your sister!

    Sarah Hope – Happy 32nd b’day….you are truly a one-of-a kind woman, and one whom I love dearly. I miss you ladies so much….I’ve said it often, but I think it’s time to start planning a “reunion.”
