I would just like to wish Kat the happiest of birthdays - and not only because I take great joy in knowing that she turns 42 a full month and 11 days before I do. 
But also because she is the bestest ex-stepsister I could ever have. And she knows that the “ex” and the “step” part mean absolutely nothing. She is my sister and she is my longest long-term friend, for the last 33 years.
Holy hell are we old….
Love ya, Kat! (And Laurel too!)
P.S. - Remember, Kat, that my dad reads this too. So as old as we feel, he’s feeling even older. Hehe… (Love ya too, Dad!)
Thanks so much for the awesomest of birthday wishes! I love ya too, exstepsis!!!
