Happy Birthday Sister!


To my beautiful sister!
I love you so much. I am so blessed that God gave me a sister as wonderful, loving, funny, unique, God-loving, ambitious, and smart as you! You have taught me patience, humor (even though you weren't funny until Erin Warkentin came around!), and so many more things, I couldn't even name them. When we were younger it was hard to imagine a time when we would want to be friends. I am so thankful that God gave us a chance to find a new respect for the women God made each of us uniquely. You are amazing!

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double. ~Toni Morrison

What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it? ~Jenny DeVries


Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship. ~Margaret Mead
