Branch-Lee,
Reading this and your earlier post about turning 30 has literally brought tears to my eyes. Since my little sister brought you home the first time all those years ago, I have been lucky enough to share in so many of the experiences you mention, good and bad. I am so proud of the woman you've become, the way you've overcome the tough things in life and learned to appreciate so life's little treasures. You are an incredible person, an amazing friend, an unbelievably talented artist. And I couldn't love you more if you were my own flesh and blood. Instead, you're the little sister I got to choose. Thanks for all you do and all you are, and thanks for letting me be a part of it! Happy Birthday!
