We've come a long way over the years.
I remember reading your receipt book that you used when you used to play store. You were trying to sell me for FREE! Can you believe you were that eager to get rid of me?
I remember you chasing me around the living room table, I don't remember what I did to deserve your pursuit, but I clearly remember thinking, "Yep, she IS going to kill me." So I looked at the remote control in my hand and developed my evil plot for self defense.....and I threw it at you. I will definitely never forget tagging you in the face with that thing.....and then your crying. Your cheeks were all stuck in your braces. And although I escaped your chase, I still felt terrible.
I remember so badly wanting to hang out with you and your friends. I thought you were so cool. And I remember you NOT wanting me to hang out with you and your friends.
Looking back on it, I think I did a very good job at being an annoying little sister.
But behind my disguise of annoying-ness, was someone who loved you, looked up to you and wanted to be just like you. Not much has changed. Although I hope I am a little less annoying these days.
You are a hard person to describe Kristie. But if I was forced to pick one word to describe you, it would have to be loyal. If I could add a second word, it would be fiercly. Fiercly loyal. And I admire that so much in you.
You are loyal to your sisters, your parents, to Josh, to Megan and to yourself.
You are amazing. I watched the way you fell in love with Josh. I admire how you stick by his side and support him. I admire how you talk about him and hold him in esteem. I admire how you talk to him and I admire how you talk to Megan about him.
I see how you love Megan. Watching you be a mother, has been such a beautiful thing to me. You are so good at it. She sure is one lucky little girl to have you. You are patient and use kind words when talking to her. You nurture her and play with her and provide everything she needs to thrive.
I see your love for your family. Josh and Megan, but also us. You love so well. You understand and relate and protect. You are a trustworthy person to go to.
Thank you for your faithfulness and loyalty as my sister. Thank you for your encouraging words and your words of love when I need them the most. And Thank you for being the kind of wife and mom that I look up to. You are amazing Kristie. I hope today, and everyday you know how special and loved you are. You are not only my sister but one of my very best friends. I am so blessed to have you in my life.
Happy Birthday!
