Happy birthday Kelsie and Gracia ! (:
To my beloved sister of 20 years:
you see my ugliest side, yet you remain faithful and committed to loving me and hoping the best for me. thank you for the times when you tell me that i'm more handsome than your friends etc etc. dunno if you really mean it, but it warms my heart just to know that you care about my feelings. thank you also for being someone whom i can turn to when i got issues about *stuff* and am confused. although your advices seem half-past-six to me, i appreciate you taking the time and trying hahaha (: i'm grateful that after all the years of turmoil in our growing up years (which was largely my fault), we turned out to be such good friends! hope we can be so close until we grow old and die.
To the even younger sister:
you know, i never imagined being able to sit down with a girl 8 years younger and sharing so much stuff, knowing that my deep-down secrets are in good hands. its been a delight watching you grow up these few years, seeing how you became prettier, more mature and reliable, and becoming more of a great influential leader. i appreciate that you took my scoldings/serious talks with a brave attitude, not blaming me for the harshness, but rather accepting rebuke with an open heart and choosing to listen and change. thank you for respecting me as a leader, though you could have gone your way thinking that you can get away cos you're closer to me. you do not pursue your personal benefit, but always consider how others might feel and whether or not God is honoured by your decsions. you understand the heart of your leaders, and so i believe you'll be a great one yourself. i think that's why we can be so close.
i appreciate this friendship, once unexpected, now greatly cherished by me.
