My favorite sister

For reasons unknown to me, April is a huge month of birthdays in my family. My sister is no exception. Although April 20th is sometimes known in history for some weird world events, it is also my sister's birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHAEL!!!

She is attending Colorado State University, works in her non school hours to support herself, and is still excelling with her schoolwork as her work load increases as she approaches graduation.

I am proud of you like no other brother can be Rachael. I am honoured to call you my sister and look forward to the stories we will always be able to tell our children around the table someday. I admire your stubborn dedication to stick with things even when they are hard. I admire how you stick true to your convictions and don't always follow the crowd, although it has meant heartache. Keep working hard knowing that no drop of sweat is ever in vain. I love you more than you know. You are a great aunt, sister-in-law, and sister. I would have it no other way. We all love you aunt Racher, have a great day...
