So another May 4th arrives and it's my sister's birthday - again. She's the big "double nickels" this year. She said that, not me. Anyway, I think she deserves five plus five reasons why she's the greatest sister on the planet. So here goes:
10. She knows how to do every crafty or artsy thing known to man. Or at least she's purchased the stuff to do it with.
9. When someone finds a baby bird they know exactly who will agree to raise it, even if it means taking it to work on the train in a shoebox and hiding it from her boss all day.
8. Her hair is the color of spun gold and her eyes change colors with her moods. When she was younger I thought she should be the heroine in a fairytale because she was so pretty.
7. Even though it took her three attempts, she finally found a guy worthy of her and she wasn't afraid to keep trying until she found him.
6. Her "hare brained schemes" are more fun than most people's planned activites.
5. If something awful is happening in my world she is always there to give me advice, even if I don't really want it but I need it.
4. I can always count on her for a crazy story to regale my friends at work with.
3. We can share out Mom so we each only have to listen to half as many repeated stories. (I really miss Denny sometimes. We could have split three ways. Maybe he knew.)
2. We can share out Mom so we... oops. I mean, The kids love her because she has spoiled them continually since birth.
And the number 1 reason my sis is number 1:
She loves me as much as I love her, and that's not always easy!
Happy Birthday, Sis. You're the greatest!
