Dr. Seuss

I really miss my baby sister early in the mornings. Growing up we always shared a bathroom and so we would get ready together - do each other's hair make-up etc....

When we were really little I used to read to her a lot. She loved a book called "go dog go" by Dr. Seuss. We read it probably everyday, even if we had read several others, and eventually she would read it to me. I was really impressed and thought she was an early starter, but then one day when she turned too many pages I realized she had just memorized the story and was telling it by looking at pictures. At first I was really disappointed, but then I thought - Wow, that takes a lot more brain power than reading. I mean she had every linking verb and article down.
I have to laugh because it is so typical of her. She does things different, but in the most wonderful way.

My lil sis is awesome! I hate to make sweeping statements, but she is my favorite person in the world. We are like night and day, but it works. She is a social butterfly, hilarious, silly, fashion savvy, and very perceptive of others needs. All her life I've watched her make sacrifices for others, and in the face of great adversity she has turned out wonderful.

Ever since the "go dog go" incident, I enjoy Dr. Seuss so much more. The smallest things can leave the most wonderful impressions.
