Twenty Eight Candles

Today is the birthday of my middle sister. She's six years younger than me.

She used to be a cute little girl with strawberry blonde hair. She was patient while her big sister bossed her around. She was so tender hearted. She thought I was cool, even when I wasn't.

She's all grown up now. She's married to a man I like. She's suffered terrible sadness in her life and she's not become bitter. She's also basked in great joy and awaits the birth of a son in only a couple of weeks. Most of all, she's still patient, sensible and gentle. She and her husband are a lot of fun to be around.

Happy Birthday and "I love you, Janice."
