I wanted to take a moment to say a few things, that I doubt I would actually ever say in person..Well I might..But I doubt it would sound as well thought out...So here's hoping that you read this.....
"Happy Mother's Day" to my sister, my best friend...
I just want to tell you that you are appreciated. But I also know that you are not made aware of that very often.... Everything that you do, that you say....The little things....You do for everyone else...Never do I see you take the time for you. I'm not sure you realize how much you are loved,and appreciated...Maybe its our fault, maybe we don't show it enough.....But I see it...I see it everytime that you are talking to the kids, their eyes light up, (even when they are in trouble..tee hee) when they hear you laughing outside with me...They come running to the door...And they are already smiling.....I see it when I am holding Jack and as much as he loves his aunt Sheshie...It is you, that he reaches out for and breaks out into that wicked "Jack" smile that of course you can't help but fall in love with...I can see, when Jess comes home, and even at 12 still likes to be hugged and touched by her mom.....(cause I know, I wasn't doing that at 12 *smile* hadn't I moved out by then? JK) I love that you and Cammie are so close, and already I know that you will have a relationship with my daughter, like I do with Aunt Linda...And that couldn't make me happier...That says so much right there...And you know what I am saying.
I love that since we were kids you have always been my confidante and regardless of what trouble I was getting into...(even now haha) you love me for who I am.. I love that I can still make you laugh, even at the worst of times...That I guess is my gift to you....I love ya Ti..And thank you for not only being my sister but also my best friend. Happy Mother's Day.

I FINALLY have been able to read what has been waiting for me.....ofcourse I am sitting here all alone (crying....I know YOU are not surprised..)
Given the conversation we have just had, not even 10 mins. ago......I THANK YOU !!!! I didn't realize just how much I needed those words....and to have them come from MY sister, just makes them that more special. I won't even attempt to be as eloquent, or thought provoking as you....I just want you to know just how much I appreciate YOU, for all that you are, all that you have overcome, all that you aspire to be.....
You have been in my life for 32 years(wow! you are getting up there huh?it's a good thing YOU look older), through petty childhood arguements( yeah, you had powers....), men probs (2 letters B.C. - 'nuff said),parental misunderstandings ( no worries, I am not going there !)right on up to the life altering....we have by no means "seen it all" , but what we have seen has only brought us closer, and I wouldn't want to see the rest of "it" with anyone else...Again I thank you....and I know you know exactly what I mean....Ti
wow. who is this Tina Chaun? Can I meet her? Can I have her number? Oh right, I do already know her. I am a LUCKY MAN.
