My sister is this extra special person that God sent to be my very personal favorite angel doll who just knows how to bring sunshine to my days. She is one of the many inspirations in my life. She and I were totally different back then. Yeah, I was the goody-good girl whom she found so boring and tacky, and I just found her too risky and immature. But those days are now long gone. We somehow managed to meet in the middle where we both tolerate each others whining, complaining, venting, and worries. Motherhood gave us the chance to really understand each other, celebrate our differences, share precious moments about our children, and discover a lot more similarities between us. When she got married in July 2009, my heart was permanently marked with a happy memory. I was her Matron of Honor and this was my speech.

I remember April when I got married. She was a picture of innocence, youth, and pure happiness that day. She could not stop smiling. Now, I look at her and I see a very beautiful lady. She wrote on our sign frame that day "I hope I'll be happy as you are happy together. Love always and forever, April"April, I love you so much. You are my heart's twin. I am very happy for you! I am very proud of everything that you are. And I know that Von feels the same way. It is true that true love makes you a better person, uplifts you. And in so many ways, in different situations the two of you feel this way with each other.
You and I (and of course our husbands) are one of the lucky few to be spending our days with a best friend. I know that you will have many beautiful mornings that you will find yourself smiling as you gaze into his sleeping face (and thinking to yourself, I can't believe it's you or is this for real?), many peaceful nights that you will fall asleep in his arms knowing that in his arms you have found heaven, and many romantic moments that you will feel contented and safe for he knows how to take care of you. And for these reasons, I believe that you are feeling the happiness I feel, my love. This is it honey, the start of your own happily ever after.
And as I remember how you were that special day, keep your marriage as youthful and fresh everyday, feel nothing only but pure happiness for each other, and most of all trust and love each other with innocence keeping in mind and heart that God has united you as one. Congratulations to you both!! Love you always and forever... Cheers!

(My sister is my eldest son's first best-friend. She was only 9 years old when Janvier was born.)
