If you only knew the heartache, pain, sorrow… and the happiness, joy, and love… that my sister has gone through.

Who is my hero?  My sister.

She’s endured more than anyone should ever have to.  And sometimes she’s endured less.  While she’s beautiful (inside and out) and happy (sometimes just out) she’s also strong, determined, intelligent, willful, and often too stubborn.

Nope – every decision of hers hasn’t been the best.  Who in their glass house can say all of theirs have been?  Regrets – there’s been a few (hm, is that a song?) – but again, we all should take inventory of our lives before we feel the right to judge.  From apologetic to “screw you, I’m not sorry”, she has covered it all.  And rightfully so.

I love you, my incredible sister.  You are in my mind every day.  We may be polar opposites, but perhaps that’s what makes a magnet such an amazing work of science.
