sandi,steve, mom and ed
Well, I missed your birthday my sister, I was away from my computer for a few days, and frankly, the date blindsided me until I saw it on Facebook. How the heck did it get this late into the summer?
Sandi you are kind, smart, honest, beautiful, innovative, funny. A great woman, a wonderful mother, and a fantastic Grandma.
You love with all of your heart, and for years I have watched you shower others with so much care, concern, and eagerness. I have worried that you do not shower yourself with such bounty, but I have noticed in recent years you taking the time to think more of yourself, and I am so happy about that.
Your life has not been an easy one, you have lived through massive obstacles, pain, and you have always come out kicking, cept for that one time when your knee was smashed in a car accident, you were not kicking so hard after that. You did keep moving forward though, through everything.

You have learned to enjoy your moments of joy, to savor them, to imclude them in your memory banks, to create them. I love that.
And sigh, I must apologize for locking you out of the house when I was babysitting you back on the farm, well, you say I did that anyway, I am not sure I acknowledge it, but…#notthebestbigsisterever.
I love you sista, I honor you, I respect you, I admire you. Happiest New Life Year!
