the fact that you are always there for me when I need you.

We are definitely total opposites, and I know we

don't always get along, but whenever it comes to

doing something important it's been a tremendous blessing

to have you right there with me.  There are so many examples I

can think of when you and I had to work together to take care

of something.  And--by God's grace--we've always been able to get it done.  We really have been through so much together, and it's at times like this when I realize just how thankful I am to have YOU as my sister.  You are so special to me.  Thanks for everything.  I hope you have a wonderful, blessed birthday!!!

I love you SO much!
