I have an amazing dating adviser, one that I share with Geo. She is wise, practical, smart and yesterday she celebrated her 18th birthday. Of course, we are talking about my sister, Rebeca.
I still remember that first time I hold her. I was wearing a read and fuchsia print dress from Esprit, big glasses and was missing some fake acrylic nails. She was a gorgeous baby and had the biggest blue eyes just like her mom. She brought so much joy to Tania and me ( she was our real life baby doll!) and was the funniest toddler ever. I remember how much she talked on the phone (My mom can vouch for me).
Over the years, her school track record have been very impressive. She barely has taken a final exam. She is a great sister to Fabiana and she is sweet with everybody she meets always offering a kiss and hugs to strangers.
Every time I meet her at the beach with Geo, we always agree on her practical wisdom and I secretly wish for some of her takes on life. She is a hard worker and like her mom, a smart dresser. She still irritates me trying to figure out why I get upset about her touching my neck, but I forgive her. She is my dad's daughter, the one that looks the most to him.
And now she's 18. She can have a beer, vote (a right I hope she will use) and in a couple of months she will go to college. My real life baby doll has grown. Yet, I am ecstatic to report that she has a brilliant future ahead of her.
My sweetest Rebeca, hope you had a wonderful b-day. I only wish that God will reward your heart's dreams as you have rewarded us with your love. I am proud of you and it is an honor to be your sister (even when our roles sometimes are reversed). I'm here for you and not going anywhere. You own my heart, that is how much I love you.
Happy birthday kid! God bless
