Happy Birthday, Maya and Melissa!

These beautiful women are my sisters, Maya (left) and Melissa (right), and today is their birthday! Melissa doesn’t read my blog, or any blog, and barely has time with a 3 year old and a 4 month old to check her email. Maya reads when she gets a chance, but she has a job and a beautiful 2 year old of her own. So it’s entirely possible that neither of them will see this post. No matter. I wanted everyone to see them anyway, and to say, “Happy Birthday to J’s sisters!”

I first met my sisters in January of 1988…after having met my dad in the fall of ’87, I flew up to Portland to visit and to get to meet them. They opened their hearts to me from day one, and I am so very thankful to have gotten to know them both over the years. They are both really wonderful, down to earth, beautiful people, and to know them is to love them. Which I do.

I’ve known them for more than half of their lifetimes now, and in a couple of years, I will have known them for half of my lifetime as well. I’m kind of looking forward to that milestone.

Happy Birthday, M&M!
