Once upon a time....only a little while ago...on this very day...a beautiful baby girl named Michelle Rene was born.She was adorable with a sprinkling of "chocolate" on her nose and nutbrown eyes and lovely auburn hair. She had a big sister and, later, a little sister, making her the "middle button."
She was smart and sweet...with an adventurous spirit that soared like a bird. She and her little sister shared a room and spent many nights playing "20 Questions" or telling stories. She played that she was Robin (and her little sister was Batman -- his "sidekick")....she played that she was a damsel in distress...she played that she was a teacher.
And she grew and matured, and the two sisters spent the nights chatting about boys and grown-up life and things of a literary nature. They shared tea-times and laughs and memories.
Then she went to Japan to be a teacher...and her little sister went to England....and their big sister stayed in America. And it was hard for a little while. Yet, their love carried them through.
She returned from Japan and moved to L.A. to be a teacher there...and to be closer to someone else she'd begun to love. And they married and had an adorable baby boy (like her) who would one day outgrow his mom. And she loved them...and her sisters and parents...and life and learning.
And she still does to this very day.

This is to celebrate YOU, Shelly. You are a wonderful big sister. We've shared many fun times together! And I pray that we'll share many, many more!
