Hannah (5/28)

My little sister has been my role model, protector, pupil, teacher, and voice of reason since she was big enough to look me in the eyes and hold me in her arms. She has been with me for every step of this crazy life. Growing up we were always lumped together in our family as "the little girls" next to our older sister because we spent so much of our time together. She is an incredible extension of myself while being uniquely her. So many times she has been mistaken for my older sister and I know it is because she is significantly smarter and more grown up than her age let's on, but it is also because she is so often my guiding light and a natural leader.

I don't know where I would be in life without my other half, the sister that's been there for nearly every second that I can remember.

Thank you so much Hannah, for being so incredibly strong, intelligent, beautiful, funny, and loving. I would be lost without you.

Happy birthday!
