The Birth of My Best Friend

36 years ago, my parents had no clue that their precious baby girl would be born with a disability. Story has it that, even there are tests that are done to determine if your baby has a disability, my Mom didn't know anything was up until Kristin came out into the world. Even though it was a shock, my parents were determined to raise her the best way they knew how. Through countless surgeries, rehab, and unconditional love, she is now a beautiful mother of 3 children. Little did SHE know that, 7 years later, there would be a baby born just like her. How grateful and blessed I am to have someone who understands my pain, my concerns, my every desire, the needs of my heart, and can share in my happiness. Be kind to your siblings every day. Yes, we have fought, but I wouldn't trade my sister for anyone else. She is my best friend, my confidant, my cheerleader, and my supporter. Happy Birthday to the greatest sister out there! I know, I'm biased. :)
