Every year on Katie’s birthday, I write a little post in honor of her big day.  Every year I fight back the tears.  And each year it gets a little harder because I miss her so much.  I am writing this post a day early since I’ll be out of the office tomorrow so it should be easier since today isn’t her actual birthday right?  :)

I cannot believe that my baby sister is turning 25.  Do younger siblings reach an age when you stop calling them “baby”.  Probably not in my case.  She still just seems so little to me but, in all actuality, she is a grown woman.  Who is now halfway to 50.  I had to do it sis…had to!

Katie–I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and continue to do for me.  My trips back to Omaha would not be complete without a night out on the town with you.  You keep this old lady feeling young and always make it a point for me to have a good time while I’m back.  I love you to pieces and am so lucky to call you my sister, but more importantly my closest friend!  I love you so much!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

In honor of your birthday I am dedicating this song to you.  1. Because you have always been the little “firework” in the family and not just because your birthday is so close to the 4th but  2. Because I feel like this song totally fits your personality.  Whenever I hear it I think of you.

 

“You’re original, can’t be replaced”

“Boom boom boom even brighter than the moon moon moon…its always been inside of you, you, you”

“Make em’ go ah ah ah…you’re gonna leave em all in awe, awe, awe”
