Happy Birthday, Emily
My sister Emily is 37 today (insert your own turkey joke here). Although my mother still thinks I am 14 months older (it's 15, mom), most friends think Emily is older than I am. This could be because she was taller than me for a period growing up, but more likely it has to do with our maturity levels.
The last year has been difficult for Emily. She spent two weeks in ICU with an extremely rare dermatological disorder that acted like second and third degree burns over her entire body. The condition is often fatal, and the only treatment is comfort care, but Emily made it through and continues to recover.
Happy Birthday, Emily! I am glad you are here to celebrate.
