“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”  Yep.  It’s true.  True of every moment that this world goes round.  For someone it’s the very best day, the very best moment of their life.  For someone else it’s the worst, the beginning or the end.  It’s a package deal the ups and downs.  This world keeps going round and round.  So even though the last year or more has been a crazy time with me I can see there are many things to be happy about.  Many things to be thankful for.

One of those things is a sister.  A sister I never had.  Not until last summer when she and my brother were wed.

Today is her birthday and this is the first time I’ve ever been able to say:  Happy birthday my wonderful Sister!  I’m so happy to have you in my family.  I’m so happy to have you in my life.  Thank you.  Love you.  And lucky lucky us!
