Today is January 29th, it isn't a National holiday, a day of remembrance, or even a day that I have specific memories of in the past. Today is January 29th, it is my Aunt's _ _th birthday. It's a day that will come and go several more times throughout the course of my life, and it will never be a day that I overlook or go through without thinking of Wendy. There are 4 women in my life that I can only hope to be like as I grow older, and today I am writing this for one of them.
I'm writing this for you, Wendy, because...
...Sometimes there aren't enough ways to tell someone thank you.
...I don't think you will ever truly understand how much you've changed my life.
...Lola and I love you soooo much.
...Lola doesn't have thumbs. (This makes typing difficult and my blog hard to read.)
...Today is a day ALL about you.
I love you because...
...You're beautiful. (Yes, even at _ _)
...You never force me to make my bed.
...You are the BEST dog mom.
...You always laugh at my jokes.
...You are my best friend.
You inspire me because...
...Mountains are nothing compared to all that you have conquered in your life.
...You never settle.
...You live with passion.
...You're not afraid to fail (and when you are you don't let your fear overcome you.)
...Of all that you have to offer.
I am grateful for you because...
...You laugh at my jokes.
...You remind me of what's important.
...My rent is very reasonable.
...I know how much you mean to my mama.
...You teach me something new every day.
...You've given me my very own shelf in the pantry and 3/4 of one in the fridge.
...You support me.
...You don't mind living with me (or the characters that spontaneously take over my body.)
I hope you have a Happy Happy HAPPY Birthday Auntie Wen because...
...It only comes once a year!!!
...Next year you'll be _ _!!!!!!
...You deserve all the love, blessings, and twinkies in the world.
(Unfortunately, I'm a college student soooo we'll stick with a box of twinkies.)
Don't forget to blow out the candles,
Kelci
