a very special birthday wish to my older sister
dear luz,
today is your 27th birthday but your first as a married woman. it's been an amazing last year, filled with many changes, ranging from new homes and churches, to finding, being courted by, engaged and married to a wonderful man. as you have gotten your birthday wish of snow and an actual present is going to be shipped to your home once i am done writing, i wanted to stop and thank you.
i don't think i have expressed my thankfulness to you as often as i'd like. you have been there for me when others have not, your gentleness has strengthened me when i was weak, your thoughtfulnesss in small ways like listening to me cry when i experienced a break up, you calling me up to reminise about silly times, you have given me an insight into the complicated world of women, which the women in my life will be the beneficaries of the knowledge you have given to me. seriously though, you have become the sibling i have always desired and much more.
as your brother, i have seen you grow into a beautiful and godly woman. it has not been an easy road for you to embark on, but you have become strong where others would feel weakness. we did not always have the strong relationship that we have now, but it is through pain and joy that we have become closer.
i wish that i could be spending your birthday with you in the snow, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers on this day and ohers as well. the following pictures bring a smile to my face as i think about the many adventures we have gone on together.
thank you for being a great and loving sister who has pointed me back to the Gospel through your actions and words through the years. i look forward to seeing what God has in store for you in the future. i am confident it is great things, because He loves you more than i ever could.
your brudder,
paz
