Heavenly Birthday

I have put off posting this all day. This is a difficult day for me. Today was my sister's birthday. She would have been 38 today. She died suddenly and unexpectedly on January 22, 1992. She was just 21. I often wonder what kind of relationship we would have had as adults. We didn't have a very good relationship growing up. We were only 13 months apart and very competitive with eachother. I guess most sisters are like that. I just wonder if we would have outgrown that to have a good adult relationship. I would like to think that we would have. I think of her often even though I don't talk about her much. I get very emotional when I speak of her. I will talk to Drew about her sometimes, but, since he didn't know her, I'm sure it's just like hearing stories about someone you don't know and aren't attached to. Anyway, I just had to recognize that today would have been her birthday and I'm sure she would have bragged about being "two years" older than me, if only for another 5 weeks. She always liked to say she was "two years" older than me until I had my next birthday! Happy Birthday in Heaven, Jamie!
