bliss

Happy 40th sister!


i love
that
i had
a
name first


i love
that
your footprints
were
on my face


i love
that
our nickname
was
the cackos


i love
that
we had
a
tree house and a creek and a path


i love
that
we became
friends
in college


i love
that
chris asked
your
ring size

i love
that
you gave
us
zoe and zane

i love
that
your poetry
is
in motion


i love
that
you love
me

    Thanks for directing me here...this is exactly what makes my heart turn over in my chest!
    It is so deep and fasinating, you lucky duck!

    I've felt the same way about my sister. And btw, I've always loved that picture of you and Carol.
