Birds, this day is starting out strangely. Symbolism is never lost - TopicsExpress

Birds, this day is starting out strangely. Symbolism is never lost on me. Ever. I am so not into coincidence. I personally invited a friend to group today. We will see if he decides to fly in. He made a metaphor on his own page involving a biiiird, how could I not? THEN, it gets even more birdiful. Someone sent him a link to my very favorite song, waaay before this group was a twinkle in my tired morning eyes. ;) My little sister will turn 28 in two days, if I am doing the math right. I remember like yesterday pushing her sweet little self through the mall in a stroller. People used to look at me like I was her teen mommy. I played along, because well, why not? I would be proud to call this child my daughter. I certainly am damn proud to call her my sister. At one point, she told me this is my song. We sang it together side by side in my awesome red Honda Accord many a time. She even said I sang it, WELL. I was not always the kindest big sister, sometimes treating her more like a friend which led to some very questionable choices. Sometimes, I treated her like neither a sister nor a friend. Well, that is ancient bird history. We are all grown up and I am still lovin this song, and my lil sissy waaaay more. Baby girl, Your faith in me brings me to tears, even after all these years... Chelsea Wilinski, happy early birdday. Thank you for giving me a gift I never asked for but am certainly glad I received and keep opening again, and again, and again. Even though we may be daughters from other mothers to some, you are never half, just completely and utterly whole love...to me.
