The years teach much which the days never knew.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s Nathaniel’s 35th birthday today. I can’t believe he’s that old, not only because it means my 33rd birthday is right around the corner, but also because, in my head, the two of us don’t age. We’re still the kids who fought like crazy and loved like crazy and laughed like crazy. In a lot of ways, he’s my best friend, and I’m so lucky that I get to be his sister.
So read this – it’s really the best way to tell you how I feel about him. I love you, Bubba.

Happy Birthday to your brother! Isn’t it wonderful to be so close to your sibling? A gift.
