seventeen

your birthday is a special time:


i don't remember exactly what my thoughts were the day morgan was born.
but
i do remember that she was really small.
i remember looking at her through the lined hospital glass.
i remember my mom coming home from the hospital, but without my baby sister.

i remember calling the hospital with my mom from a pay phone in the parking lot of babies r' us, right after my mom had bought me a cabbage patch baby.
we were calling to see if morgan was strong enough to be released from the hospital.
that particular time, the answer was no. i was devastated.
&
then july 27th, just eight days after her arrival
{which seemed like an eternity to a seven year old},
morgan grace
came home to be an eddy.

i could go on & on about all the many memories i have of my baby sister.
but, maybe i will share those on a different day.
she is one of my most favorite people.
i will always cherish the many nights that we stayed up late playing "genus world record" & that she slept with me faithfully every night of my life growing up.





happy birthday favorite sister.
you are beautiful inside & out.
i love you.


to celebrate the gift of "you" to the world.
