Hey Henry…
On the eve of my sister’s birthday I think it only appropriate to give her a shout out. If anyone ever was truly a Queen of Hearts-it’s my sister Michele. Really. Honestly. Without a doubt. I could go into my Matron of Honor speech all over again but I will spare those of you that have already heard it. You may ask…Who is Henry? Remember that song “There’s a hole in the bucket, Dear Lila, Dear Lila…there’s a hole in the bucket Dear Lila a hole…well fix it Dear Henry…” ---well whether you think I am completely off of my rocker or if you actually know the tune---this is something that we used to sing together and just laugh about together—one of those random sisterly memories we both have...that at the time you don’t realize that they are going to stick with you for a lifetime. This is one of those memories for me—among others that if I put them into writing my sister would have my head so I will just keep them there for safe keeping.
I have so many of those memories—and appreciate more than I could even put into words having Michele to journey through life with. And it has been quite the journey indeed. She is my best friend. It is hard to believe that last year at this time she just got engaged a couple days before her birthday-and now she is already married…what an amazing year we all shared with her. I couldn’t be happier for her—just married and planning the next phase of her new life...I can't wait. I am looking forward to this year ahead (especially this summer’s trip with Jason, Henry and “BIL”) we are going to have so many experiences that will linger the rest of our lives.
That is what life is about-living in the moment and creating the memories that will sustain you during the good times and the not-so good times. We should all think about that and take a step back from our own lives sometime, and look at ourselves from the outside—look in and see the memory you are creating…Remember that.
I love you Henry.
Happy Birthday,
Love,
Lila
