Family connections are most important, they turn you into that which you become. Friends are connections that may be as strong as family. Friends may become so bonded as to become family. Some are lucky enough to have someone in your life that are both, family and friend.

Today would have been my sister, Cindy's 63 rd birthday. Although she had her faults, she was a remarkable woman. In grade school she studied ballet and became a Prima Ballerina. After an injury ended her career as a dancer, Cindy studied Respiratory medicine and became a Respiratory therapist. She played the Oboe and was crazy about Christmas. We lost her to cancer seven years ago, but she is thought of daily.

Today she celebrates with all those that have gone before. Happy Birthday Cindy know you are not forgotten.
