The Girl Who Changed My Life

Today is my sister's day! Andrea is finally 21! If I wasn't so protective and my parent's weren't so discomforted by it, I'd be posting about her all the time.

My sister Andrea is not simply a special human being, but she is a role model. She has no inhibitions and shows her real authentic self in her dancing, singing, and humor. I  wish everyone had a role model like her because I'm sure we'd be living in a different kind of world.

Having her in my life gave me responsibility and hope that there really are good people.  I'm so thankful that the universe brought the 2 of us together; I really believe it saved me from myself. She came along at just the right time.

 It's an honor and privilege to have someone like her in my life, and today we get to celebrate her achievements as a 21 year old adult.

Just so you know, I stare at this picture every day.  It sits on my work desk and I smile right back.
