Happy Birthday Rosie!

Rosie.....my sister and I know she wouldn't be mad announcing her age. She is 55 today and proud of it. She looks fantastic! The little munchkin next to her is her grandson Cash.

Rosie.......how can I describe her? She's quirky, funny, full of life, loud, sensitive, and corny (big time). She was the spoiled one with Mom and Dad. She knew exactly what to do to get their attention. Growing up.....she was that pain in the ass older sister that tattle tailed on me. So many times I wanted to hit her lol....I'm assuming that's normal.

Fast forward......Rosie was the one that Mom lived with for the last 10 years of her life. I know it took a toll on Rosie taking care of Mom after the stroke but she did it. She wouldn't have it any other way. When mom passed, we were worried about Rosie.....how it was going to affect her. Though it was hard on all of us......I think it hit Rosie in a different way.....like she lost her best friend as well as her mother.

Our relationship is exactly what sisters should be. We are close, we laugh, pick on each other (big time), share our stories and some secrets. She always wants the best for me. She's like the little mama in the family. If I need some tough love or an honest opinion.....I can count on Rosie. We may not see eye to eye on a lot of subjects....but bottom line we are connected, we come from the same place and we are Sisters....forever and ever.

Thank you Rosie for always being there for me, for always making me laugh and cry and mad. I wouldn't have it any other way. Happy Birthday Sis!
