Today is my sister’s birthday. She’s actually my brother’s ex wife but I still think of her as my sister.

This card is 10 years old, and yes it is still on my wall, it reminds me of harder times. Reminds me to remember who I am – tough as fuck.

I took this picture this morning when I was thinking about her giving me the card. For no occasion, just because she knew I was struggling, doing my best, but all on my own with the 4 kids with no family nearby.

I called and left a message, our 4 hour time difference is a bitch sometimes.

The card said “We” (and I know my brother and nephews love me) but this was all Jill.

I miss her. Happy birthday Jillybean. ❤
