Maddi-

smarter than me, (4.2 gpa, takes college classes as a Junior, has read more books than i have…ya know…)
more talented than me (sings; dances; acts; improvs; plays the piano, violin, jaw harp, harpsichord, triangle, and finger chimes; debates; leads organizations…)
– knows exactly how she feels about herself and her beliefs, and wouldn’t change that for anything
smiles and laughs all the time…which is very very contagious.
– she bleeds purple and gold, but loves orange
– never sleeps.
in fact, i usually find her in the morning on her knees flopped ever her bed. dead, but excruciatingly diligent.
– knows how to be a true and honest friend and has many of them that all adore her
– is way more confident in her own style than i ever was at 18…
– loves to learn and soak up new things
– wonderfully supportive daughter, aunt, and sister.

she was recently told, apparently, that she is “more adult than her sister.” which is quite true. i look up to her…. in a very literal way!

Happy Birthday
not-so-little-and-now-a-legal-adult sister!!
i took a picture for you:
