sis

it's marley's birthday.
of course she is wonderful and smart and funny and beautiful.
but she is also a carbon copy of her mom.
(that wasn't a plug for me:)
and it's really hard some days.
living with a pint sized me.
but i also feel such a HUGE responsibility to not ruin her.
to be extra sensitive to her insanity.
because guess what?
i know exactly what she is feeling.
and it is for no reason sometimes, and completely irrational, and so annoying,
but it's real.
and i fail daily.
but at least i remember i need to try harder after every fail.
and it is something priceless to have a little girl around.


happy birthday sis.
you are so incredibly loved.
