As mentioned above, this is a VERY IMPORTANT POST!!!
No, it’s not about some celebrity, not about fashion, a new recipe or a “must-visit” destination. Nope, this post is very important to me because today we celebrate my littlest sister’s birthday!
(Ok, so we might actually be “celebrating” it later on because only the privileged Bahamas crew has the chance to celebrate with her today but whatever…)
As most of you know, S is the youngest of the family, but from the get-go she was able to hold her own (not an easy thing to do with two older sisters!) She was artsy and calm enough to do crafts, play school, house & grocery story (yes, my mom loved when T would empty all of her cupboards to play that one!) with T yet tough enough and not afraid to get dirty while playing hide ‘n seek, soccer and tag with me (k). Her piercing blue eyes, her soft blond ringlets and her infectious smile could melt just about anyone’s heart- she was one CUTE kid!
Little has changed of that adorable little girl (* see note below); the ringlets may have straightened and you might not catch her playing “bakery” in the mud but those beautiful baby blues and contagious smile remain…

I feel honoured to have had the chance to watch S grow from that adorable little girl into a strong, smart, generous, hard working, caring, hilarious (ok I could go on forever) young woman… TWENTY FIVE year old woman that is. I couldn’t be more grateful to have her as my
sister.
sister.
So here’s to you S, the sisters-three would be nothing without ya (and not just because you are the third one :P) I wish you nothing but the best- health, love and happiness- on your very special day! I love you tons and despite the ridiculous tan you for sure have, I am so so so excited to see you!
* Fun Facts about S *
Scented items weren’t permitted in the house i.e. play dough, markers, cause S would eat them!
She developed claustrophobia after an intense game of hide ‘n seek (armoire)
She use to color her hair green because she wanted to be a Ninja Turtle
She only recently (ok not THAT recently but it took her a while!) learned how to say the word “yellow” (lellow?!?!?!?)
She has two sisters, parents, grandparents, a boyfriend, a brother-in-law, a sister’s boyfriend and TONS of coworkers and friends who love her dearly & wish her the absolute BEST today!!!
HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY S
Much love xoxox

As K has mentioned today is a very special day for the youngest member of our family- our dear little S.
ReplyDeleteSome would say that she is “daddy’s favourite” . Perhaps it seemed that way because I think dad became a better father with each daughter that came along. But in truth each one is different and brings tremendous joy and happiness in a different way. And they are all well loved.
Sara has been loved all the way along by her parents and certainly her big sisters, who also had a lot to do with guiding her to become the intelligent, sensitive and caring women we see now. (We won’t talk about the time K and T accidently dumped her in the ditch when she was little!)
As her father, it still seems as if she is that bubbly, amazingly cute little girl who I could entertain in the park (“push me higher”); who loved to hide and laugh or spend hours with playing games at the cottage.
We are extremely proud of the person that she has become and the impact that she has on those around her.
K and I wish we were there to celebrate this special day with S (and T and Moma H). We miss them but know that they are enjoying themselves and will be home soon to celebrate.
Much love
I'm crying...

ReplyDeleteHappy 25th Birthday Baby sister S!!
ReplyDeleteI've watched you grow up and always knew what a gorgeous genuine young lady you would become.
Papa H & Momma H, T&K you've all been great role models for the wonderful Miss.S
Thank you so much everyone for the kind words. Brought tears to my eyes. Love you daddy and Kate xxoo
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky to be celebrating with Sara today, but I know she misses the rest of her family. She is a special girl.

Awww what nice things to write K (and D)! Very touching. I remember when your mom was pregnant with S (the first tiny baby I held!) and how excited T and you were! But my favourite memories of S were all the times we went swimming in my pool. She was so good and loved to jump off the diving board! Although she would freak out completely if there were worms at the bottom of the pool. And there was always a ''I'll be back'' when she would leave! Can't believe you are 25 Sara, Happy Birthday!!!
