Tomorrow is your birthday and I would normally call you to make fun of you for being older than I am. You would always respond to my sarcastic comments and try to make me realize that I was right behind you by only a month and two weeks. I’ll never forget the lifetime that we spent together and the way that you helped shape me into the woman that I am. I’m proud of the woman that I have become and I think that you would be as well. Thanks for putting up with me your whole entire life. I love u.
