I was so proud to be a big sister.
We grew up fast and she remembers a whole lot more of our memories and stories than I do, and I sure am thankful that mama took as many pictures as she did since a dozen years seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.
I like to look at all of those pictures. In the midst of all the hairspray and curls, we had some fun.
Most of the funnier stories are stories about how we never got along. And I mean it when I say we never got along. She knew how to push my buttons and I sure knew how to push hers. I know this may come as a surprise to y'all, but I've been known to be just a tad bit bossy :) and my sister had a temper that couldn't be matched.
I'll let you in on a little secret, though. I sure was especially proud to be her sister when she sang. She's got a voice that could move a mountain and I wanted everybody to know that she was MY sister.
She's been there for me in ways I never expected her to have to be. I am so, so thankful for that. It only took 25 years, but I think it's safe to say that although we have our moments, we are not just sisters. We're finally friends.
CoopCoop FINALLY said "Ambie" yesterday. I like to think of it as his very own birthday present to her. We're lucky to have an Ambie like her. Very, very lucky.
Hope you have the very best birthday!!
