I'm in Heaven

I got the best birthday present I could ever get this year. My beloved sister flew in from Chicago to surprise me for my birthday. They tell me I fainted when I saw her. I don't remember. But look at this picture:That, my friends, is a look of pure happiness on my face as I lay collapsed in her lap. You must understand, I love my sister more than I can ever put mere words to. She was snatched away from me in an evil corporate relocation almost four years ago, and I have never been the same since. Most heartbreaking of all was that she had to move when ZimDee was just two weeks old, and I didn't even get to see her during my entire pregnancy and the birth of Sprout. So the moments we can capture together are very precious to me.

I will beg your forgiveness in advance for being pretty scarce during the time of her visit. I just want to soak up each and every minute with her that I can. Surely you will understand.

My love to all as I'm living these much too short days here in Heaven.

Have a great time. It's wonderful that she could surprise you like that. We'll miss you, but hey, how could we deny you heaven.

You go ahead and have a good time. We'll wait. haha You have no idea how blessed you are to have someone that you love that much (and who, I'm sure, loves you that much). There is no one outside of my husband and kids that I would be that happy to see. I would love to have a sibling that I could be that close to. Cherish!
