Sister: Known. Understood. Loved

“A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves – a special kind of double.” Toni Morrison

This past Saturday was my sister, Michela's birthday. The picture above is from her Christmas party, holding the chocolate buttercream cake I made for her.

I am so lucky and incredibly grateful to have a sister, especially one like Michela. I can tell her anything and can be completely myself with her. I'm so happy to have two little girls, so they will know the joy in having a sister to talk to, understand and love. Some words to describe her:

Beautiful. Funny. Generous. Avid Reader. Daydreamer. Blackberry User. Fashionista. Incredible Cook. Thinker. World Traveller. Smart. Brown-Eyed. Sagitarius. Impatient. Poker Player. Genealogy Mapper. Debater. Liberal. Vodka Drinker. On-Time. Good Friend. Daughter. Aunt. Sister.

Happy Birthday!

I love you,

Your Little Sister
