2. And 26 years ago today, my younger sister died at the tender age of 19.
Sad memories all around today.

6. Totally not your fault. No worries.
There are also wonderful memories resting alongside the painful ones.

4. My birthday and Thomas Jefferson's too.
As my daddy always said - it's just another day older and deeper in debt.
