They say it’s your birthday!

sisters

Forty-nine years ago my life changed when the stork brought me a little sister. A best friend and constant companion. A playmate and co-conspirator. Even though I was two years, nine months and seven days older, Momma dressed us alike and many people came to believe we were twins.

Some still do.

I try to recall my first sister memory, but I can’t find it. My memories are all of us together.

    Yes, we where both blessed that day 49 years ago; our lives would have been very dull without her. Happy birthday, Staci. Can’t wait for the party to begin. Love the picture.

    I always thought you two WERE twins, and there was just a little longer than usual delay between your births….hmmm…=) You two are both brilliant and beautiful, inside and out, sisters who I feel blessed to know. Along with your awesome Mom, you three are the Tremendous Trio, and I know that my life, as well as many others, would not be the same without you three Amazingly Awesome ladies. So, Happy Birthday, Staci, and Extremely Nice “Sister Tribute” to your oughta-be twin sister, Talya.
