Happy Birthday to my wonderful fashion loving, yuengling drinking, fried chicken and watermelon eating sister-friend. Here's to you for overcoming obstacles with grace, being a consummate optimist, inspiring me to find my writing voice and never letting me forget my worth. Blessings to you today and always.
