Happy Birthday SHEILA!

Posted By on June 14, 2007

Today my little sister (OK my only sister) turns 37.

I can remember that mom would let me hold her as a baby. She was squirmy.

I remember going to a Duran Duran concert with her where she won the dance contest and got to meet the band. That got us front row seats to the concert too.

I remember her having to sit between me and Sean or my parents when we went anywhere as a family. Yes we did say “Stop touching me”.

I remember when she fractured her collar bone falling down the stairs of the house my parents had just bought.

I remember being stunned when she informed me that she was going to Japan.

I remember watching her and Patrick have these really complicated stories going on with our Star Wars action figures.

I remember taking her to her first Science Fiction convention.

I remember how proud I was of her when she became a paralegal and took control of her life again.

I remember how proud I felt when I heard that she had found a condo she wanted to buy and then bought it.

Happy Birthday Kiddo!

Your Big Sister is really proud of all that you have accomplished.

I am grateful to have Sheila as my sister.

    Lovely memories. Very touching. And we remember you and Sheila with lips quivering in tandem as you and Peter were getting married. We are grateful to have you both in the family. We could just picture you as little girls together.
