My younger sister died 7 years ago, 6 weeks shy of her 30th birthday. She had really looked forward to that one. She was one of those people who made an extremely BIG deal out of birthdays, especially the mile-stone ones. Today, she would have been 37. I remember when I turned 36, she told me ' now you're closer to 40 than 30!' I miss being able to tease her back. I wonder what she would be doing today, what she would look like, what fancy restaurant she would want us to all go to.I guess I could tease her now about staying 29 forever, because she will. I miss you Andi, and love you more than ever. I know you and Marc are celebrating together! Happy birthday, baby girl! I love you, and will grieve you forever. Love, your big sister, Goldie
