Happy birthday to my younger sister who a lot of people think is actually my elder sister!
I’m sure it’s only because you’re so wise and mature that people think you’re older than me anyway, sis! Either that or I just seem super young and immature!
Sweet aunty, you must tell me the secret of your eternal youth. What magical spell has been cast upon you? What offerings were made to please what god? What ointments from what rare plant have you been using? What magical potion did you drink? Is there a fountain of youth in your backyard where you go to bathe when no one is looking?
You haven’t aged a day since I met you - if anything you’re looking younger and younger. Always laughing, always joking around, always looking at the world as if you were seeing it for the first time.
When I was small, I never really felt like I was little because you would carry me around on your shoulders and from there I could see the whole world.
Today, whenever I feel down or small, you still have the ability to make me feel big and great just with your love and your care. I sometimes feel like I am still being carried around on your shoulders. You have the amazing ability to lift me up and support me when I need it.
May the Lord shed an eternal light on your path, big bro, and bless you with all the love in the world!
