Saturday August 16th~

 During life’s highs and lows, hurts
 and happiness, a sister is always there...


I have always heard so much about Seattle, 
Washington.  Mostly how much it rains.  Well we will
 have the opportunity to see how true this is.  I came
 prepared with my umbrella, and I'm glad for that.


Hopefully today the day will be perfect.  No rain, 
no clouds.  You see today is Mala's birthday.  Truth is
 rain or not we have already made plans and today
 we celebrate.  Tonight even more so.


Mala is the 4th of five girls to my parents.  If there 
was ever a more easy going child than her then I will 
stand corrected.  In a way I helped to raise her even 
though I am only 3 years older.  Rima is the baby
 in the family, but Mala is like my baby.


It's not often I get to be with one of my sisters on
 their birthdays.  Life happens and it is not always easy to
 coordinate plans, but today I get to celebrate with Mala, 
(birthday girl), Reshma and Torin.  I'm grateful and
 I am happy.  Today is definitely a special day.


A woman without her sister is 
like a bird without her wings...
