This blog has been such a gift. Checking everyday, hoping for an update, new pictures and kind words from my wonderful sister Luci.
Luci it’s your birthday
God bless you this day
You gave me the gift of a little sister
And I’m proud of you today
Luci it’s your birthday
Happy Birthday Luci
(from The Simpsons episode “Stark Raving Dad”)
Luci has been many things to me over her 28 years. An adorable baby, a little sister who would get into my room while I was at school and pull the tape out of my cassettes, an avid cowboy boot-wearer, and eventually a beautiful friend who I can always turn to in happy times or times of worry or with my questions of faith.
I feel so lucky to say that my sisters are my best friends (and my brother too.) I love you today and everyday.
“For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands”
― Christina Rossetti
