Lucky me....

....I have a sister and it's her birthday. So....I dedicate this post to my BFF, confidante, validator, therapist and lunch buddy and I'm going to tell you some things that I think you should know about her.

Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other.
