25 years ago today I went to pre-school super excited, in fact I didn’t want to go (yes I was only four but I have a crazy memory for certain things) The reason for my excitement? Well my “baby sister” was being born. I’m the eldest cousin on both sides of my family so getting an instant friend in the form of my cousin Ronethea was super exciting. Thing is we didn’t get along all that well, hehehe… she pulled my hair and blamed me for things I didn’t do while I wouldn’t share and found a little kid hanging around all the time, much less exciting than I initially thought. Over the years we have made each other so angry we would cry and laughed so hard we would cry (she’s a crier though so not that impressive, lol). We had a HUGE falling out a while ago but came back stronger than ever, now hardly a day goes by without us chatting (usually about which craft project we are involved in at the time) seriously we check in if the other one hasn’t said anything in a while, it gets so bad that we don’t have anything to say to each other in person because we have texted and emailed the whole week. We still don’t agree on everything (oil and water they called us growing up) but today I am so proud of her!!!  she has overcome great adversity, raises a child on her own while studying , running a small business and looking for a job, she is a true motivation and I’m so proud I could cry (see a recurring thing with us) I love you Ronethea even if you still make me roll my eyes now and again (I know you do the same at me,hehe)….
Cousins by birth – Friends by choice    . . . .  Happy Birthday lil sis
