today my grandma is 75,
and my sister is 17.
and my sister is 17.
we were at my grandma's birthday dinner and my dad asked how she's stayed so spunky and healthy. i look for beauty & live in the moment. that's what she said. she is the person who sends me photos of cats because they're funny, gives my brothers hilarious dollar store toys for christmas, wears three kinds of leopard at the same time because she likes it, wants her life to be not-normal, and in the past month has started to paint. inspiring!!
and then there's my sis: the girl who effortlessly lives in her own skin and somehow seems to be bypassing the awkward stage of being a teenager,,, the girl whose writing on her blog seems like its from a 25 year old, the girl who looks opposite from me but gets my exact same scores on personality tests :) the girl who is somehow excelling in honors classes, comedy sportz, yearbook, singing at church, directing and editing a film, and still goes to bed at 9:30pm for her beauty rest. my kind of girl. love you heathie.
