katelyn's day.

a sister.

oh golly. here is my sister, through love and experience. who I am getting to know every time we sit together. and as much as I know her, I anticipate more time and knowing. she came into my life but only a few years ago, stealing my blood brother from me, she didn't even sneak him away, just swept in and said, he's going to be spending the majority of his time with me now, deal with it. I got a bit frightened and stayed my distance for a bit. but time wore on and we hadn't much of an idea of each other. the three of us really. so I flew around the world and thought about them. they had made me cry the last time we were together, their love for each other casting light to the sun. so I sat on that big fat bird, flapping its exhausting wings down south. and we know the story there. but that time holds so strong with me and the love that grew is still full and true. that was our time. and now we are home, another home, an older home and we are apart, but only in geographical measures. so today is your birthday, you grow older in numbers and spirit (and it shows, in the best ways) and i have wished it to you personally and now publicly, so that others may think to wish the same, for you and for others, i wish for this day to be full and bright, regardless of sunshine, i hope your every thought is full of love and the knowing that you are loved, i wish for your husband to feel blessed by you and you by him,  i miss you and your warmth. i love you my sister. give guapo a kiss for me. can't wait to see you again, and that persistently joyful old man of yours.
