What a happy day!

Today, my baby sister is turning 27!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY SISTER!!!!!!


I was ten years old the day my sister was born: a day like today but 27 years ago.


I remember going to school and, around noon, her father went to pick me up. I was so excited to get to the hospital to meet her. And there she was : a tiny teeny baby. Twenty-seven years later and she is my best friend and we are twins at heart.


Today, I celebrate you so. Although, I celebrate your birth every single day cause I can't believe how lucky I am to have you as a sister!


But I was thinking about the many reasons why I am grateful for you. So, I decided to share some of them.


27 reasons I am grateful for you
