Dear Aunt Hilly,
Happy birthday to the best aunt in the world! Thank you so much for baby-sitting me with Grammy and Poppy and for always showing me how much you care about me. I am so lucky to have a caring and loving aunt like you! I can't wait to see you again soon!
I love you,
Whit
Whit decided he wanted to show Aunt Hilly how much he loves her by writing her a sweet birthday message, so now it is my turn. On her 23rd birthday, I want to take time to convey some thoughts regarding my only sibling, dear Hillary. When I was 3 1/2, Hillary was born, and for about 5 minutes, I was a very sweet, helpful older sister. Then, I think I realized that I could manipulate and boss my baby sister around whenever I wanted! And so, the imaginary "Little Girl" was born. Anytime I hit or otherwise hurt Hillary, I would blame it on this imaginary person I called Little Girl. I would always say, "but Hillary, the little girl did it!" She believed me until she was about 5 or so, and then she finally caught on that I was actually the bad one! Unfortunately, until Hillary was about 13, we fought like cats and dogs over anything and everything. Happily, we finally started getting along much better when we both reached a more mature point in our lives. Since then, we have had our fair share of fights regarding such important matters like who took whose clothes without asking, but for the most part, our relationship has become extremely close and wonderful. Hillary truly is not only my sister but also one of my closest and dearest friends, and I am so lucky to have her in my life!! I love her so much, and I am very proud of the person she has become. She is a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and teacher, and I am so thankful to have her back living in Atlanta so that she can play an active role in Whit's life. Happy 23rd birthday, Sissy!!! I hope it is fabulous in every way!
