Fifty years ago today,
my dad called from the hospital to tell me I finally had a sister.
That call made me the happiest 6-year-old alive!
Time, distance, raising families and taking different life journeys separated Anne and me until last year. She reached out and we forged a new relationship.
We've gotten to know each other and are now sharing a spiritual journey that's unbelievably deep, rich and real.
Best of all, I saw her open her heart to God fully.
My sister is one of the bravest, most loving, honest people I know.
Today I honor and wish my Anne a very happy 50th birthday.
Take a look at us through the years:

Little sister sends big sister off
to Girl Scout camp ~ 1967
1981(?) ~ really young and large-spectacled adults
August 2009 with our brother Mark
Happy birthday, Anne. I love you!
Happy birthday, Anne. I love you!
