this post is dedicated to my sister ashley:
my baby sister is turning 21 tonight at midnight!
there are many thoughts to feel at this moment...but the one that i feel the need to share is a particular memory i have of her much younger years.
she doesn't know this one but since i was in my teenage years when she was born ( around 15) i used to carry her around the house when my mom would be cooking dinner. now i know how important that was for my mom after becoming a mom myself. i would flip on the tv - specifially mtv (back when they used to show videos!). anyways, i would dance around with ashley in my arms tight to the popular songs out esp. the one by michael jackson "man in the mirror" ( i guess b/c they played it over and over) and i would snuggle her close and hope that she would always remember me as the best big sister ever! 20 years down ash - i love you and i still hope you remember me as the best big sis ever!
we will celebrate this saturday together. but a part of me still can't belive 21 years have flown by just like that. you always still be my baby sister only now we can legally hang out in a bar together - scary but true!
here is to 21 more!
