THANKS TO YOU... I'M HAVING A BLAST

How do you begin to describe the love you have for a sister when it's beyond words? How do you explain the guidance of an older sister who part-timed as a parent when my Mom wasn't around? How do you describe a sister who had complete trust in my driving to actually take me out for practice runs when I was sporting my driving permit like it was an FBI badge? How do you describe the patience my older sis had when I poked and annoyed her just for giggles? My beautiful sister Natalie will continue to be my strength when I feel emotionally shattered. She'll continue to make me smile when I'm compelled to murder. She'll continue to be an amazing mother to her son (my nephew) and a wonderfully understanding wife to my brother-in-law. Her steadfast direction carved me into a person who possesses respect and kindness. Natalie, this is for you. You were my inspiration in getting this whole blogging thing started in the first place... and my never-ending inspiration in general. Love you more than Cheez-Whiz on Pita Bread.
