My dear sissy wissy,
You turning 30 makes me feel pretty old, but it also makes me feel very proud, knowing all that you have accomplished in your brief life so far. We have both gone from being kids to raising kids and it has it all happened to fast.
I remember when we were young and Tim and I would get you laughing at the dinner table each and every night. Mom and Dad would give their looks at us, but I know we all miss those days sometimes. You have been a naturally gifted nurturer from the very beginning and that has greatly helped you in recent years.
You are a true friend and encourager. I will probably never be able to compete with you in having more friends on facebook. But I know that you are a better friend to more people and you have always been loyal and kind to everyone. I am most grateful for this quality within you as you have deeply befriended my wife, Amy, from the very beginning and made her your adopted sister. Thank you for that.
Em, you are godly woman, a great mother and wife, with wisdom, good humor, generosity, and grace. I am proud of you and will always love you as my sister and friend...even when we are miles apart. Happy 30th Birthday!
Sincerely, your older brother, Daniel.
