Birthday Wishes

a person who is very special to me

is celebrating a birthday today

she is one of my closest dearest friends

we did not meet by chance

because we are related

our relationship started when she was born

here I am ~ all of 2 1/2 and she a mere babe

I could fill pages with pictures of us together

as there are many

 

our grandfather called us

2 peas in a pod

yup ~ that's us

the matching shirts phase

 

at the farm on a beautiful Sunday afternoon

 

memories are made of times like this

 I was her maid of honor at her wedding

 and she was mine

we have seen each other through so much

and I am grateful that we have remained close

although distance separates us

and 

we do not get to see each other nearly enough

we share secrets

and long phone conversations

we use to send cards and letters

now most times it is chatting on line

and emails

 

so today I want to celebrate her

from the little girl she was

to the wonderful woman she is today

she is a wife, a mother, a daughter, 

a teacher, a friend

and someone I love with all my heart.

Happy Birthday Gina

I hope you have the best one yet!

 

Cheers to the memories we have made

and the ones that are yet to come.

Love you!
