Think about how sad and empty my life would have been if you hadn't come along. Nobody for me to boss around or iron a leg.
No one for me to lament to about Mom and Papa (and how they ruined our innocent lives with those haircuts).
I am the most modestly dressed in this picture above. You and Danielle were downright scandalous. I wonder if this was indicative.
I also have no pictures between our tween years and our twenties, which... is just as well. But remember this weekend from the pic below? Remember how we packed 500 billion things into 36 hours??? Two words: Argentinian restaurant. I am sure no one laughs as hard and as deliriously as we do when we are together. For sure not.
And so I know I bossed you around like you had nothing to teach me (I was just doing my job to maintain manifested truth about birth order), but in reality, you have always been the greatest example to me of thoughtfulness and compassion. I aspire to be like you.
I never have as much fun with anyone as I do when I'm with you two. Some friends have come close, but never as much. Not even Bruce (sorry, Bruce!).
I started to write all the things that only we would understand, but it's way too much and really best that it remain unsaid.... sometimes the truest words are not words at all.
But the bright, shining star over all of this: we are eternally bound. And as much as D tries her hardest to cut us out like dead weight, we're forever chained at the hip. Haha.
"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common." {Acts 4:32}
Of one heart and of one soul. Happy 30th, Aud. Te amo con todo mi corazon.
