Today is a very special, important day...it's my sister, Allyson's birthday! If you don't know her, she's a beautiful woman, both inside and out. She's got a heart of gold that she wears on her sleeve. She's insanely independent, and will always put others before herself. She was that sister who would be hard on me because she always wanted the best for me, but would stand up for me if I needed some back up. She was the one who gave me endless amounts of advice on school, life, love and everything else. She was the one who told me everything would be okay when I thought my world was going to end. She's a hero in my eyes.
I couldn't be more thankful for her and the gift of her daughter that she has shared with my entire family. She's raising Sarah to be a sweet, gentle, loving and happy baby. I'm not sure that I could say that she could do anymore, because her daughter is just that happy.
We may have our differences, but there's more about us that is the same than different. She gets me better than anyone else, and I can't imagine my life without her. The 3 hour traveling distance between us makes it difficult for us to see one another all the time, but when we do get back together it's like we never missed a beat.
So today, especially, and every day, Ally, know that I love you for the woman you are. You are the best sister anyone could have ever had, and I am so lucky to call you my best friend, too. I hope you had an amazing weekend in the city, and I can't wait to celebrate with you, soon!
