My sister would have been 37 today.
I am officially older than she ever was. Normally her birthday doesn't make me this emotional. I think it is because I am now older than she ever was. Today was just really hard.
Here's a pic of us kids:

Could you guys post some LOL dogs or something? Maybe say something nice to me? Thanks.
Duckie

3. Aw, sweetie. I'm sorry.
That pic is adorable. I'm sure your sister is enormously proud of the wonderful woman you have become.

6. Hugs to you, Duckie.
My birthday hit me super hard this year when I realized that I will always be older than my husband got to be. We were the same age (38 days apart, and he made a big deal out of me being older). And it sucks that I don't want to be any older than him than that. But I don't have a choice. :hug: You are a wonderful person and a terrific sister.

8. Thanks for posting that picture of her again.
In that picture it's pretty obvious that she was happy to have her new doll, er, sister to play with.

She had beautiful hair and a terrific smile.

16. McCain is so nasty.
He won't even look in Obama's direction.

18. Thanks.
She has been gone for almost eight years. We discovered a new Mexican restaurant a few months back, and I had the urge to call her. I wonder what would have become of TJ, the boy she was eight months pregnant with when she died. He already knew my voice, and would kick on cue when he was a wake. Apparently when I giggled, he used to do flip flops.
