happy 27th!

My baby sister is no longer a baby ... today is her 27th birthday. It seems surreal to me. She will always be my baby sister. I have friends who are her age, some even younger, but they seem older to me. Not because my sister is immature, but because she's my baby sister.

When she learned how to drive - I couldn't believe it. Graduated high school? No way! The fact that she is now in her late twenties is beyond comprehension.

Throughout our lives, she and I have butted heads. We are both stubborn. Both controlling. Different, and yet very similar. In the past few years, we have worked hard to build a mature relationship ... a friendship, and it makes me happy.

So happy birthday baby sister ... friend.
