likes to celebrate Jess
everyday
Today is the one day
I agree to partake in said celebration.
these two
best parents ever
had one beautiful child
another child as well
All jokes aside
two amazing things came from Jess
my new favorite sister
and my best bud in the entire world
This has been a hard year.
loved
strong
generous
caring
successful
powerful
big hearted
father
has had unfortunate events take place
During this time
my sister’s true character
true warmth
true strength
and love
has shined through
Jess is a person who
is sometimes distracted
is always there for you
always puts her family first
is occasionally right
and is truly an incredible and special person
I know now, more than ever —
anyone can count on her, whenever it’s needed.
She is constantly thinking of other people,
doing things for them when nobody is watching
(she’ll tell you about it though)
— and when people need it most.
Today —
I want to take a moment
to celebrate, to appreciate,
and to tell my sister —
one of the best people in the world —
how much she means to me,
to everyone,
and that I love her.
Happy birthday, Jess.
