years ago yesterday
my parents gave me the best present EVER.
My sister can make me laugh more and quicker than anybody else on the planet (often when I'm actually trying to be pissed off), calms me down when I'm freaking out and comforts me when I'm crying. She let me try giving my first haircut ever (and forgave me... sorry, babe), attempted to make an elevator over our banister with me out of a laundry basket and jump rope (and would have been the first to go down in it too if the babysitter hadn't found us), and mailed me three page letters in Bolivia decorated with colored pencils and including presents for my host siblings.
She believes important things and lives them out, she can make friends with anyone, she volunteered for the Obama campaign in her spare time in high school, memorizes 10 minute monologues from her favorite movies, has infinitely better hair than me, she's passionate for diversity and justice, she takes risks, has fun, makes people's days better, and makes the world a better place.
And I'm not just a bragging big sister. Everyone thinks so. Trust me.
Happy 19th birthday, Al!!!
I loved sharing our childhood and I love even more that we are living life so closely together now.
I could never want anyone one else for a sister more.
