Sister,

I know I've told you that I love you

but have I ever told you why?

I admire your fierce empathy

and your activist heart

Your emotional depth and your stubborn honesty

Your desire to understand both sides of every conflict

Your lack of patience for bullshit

Your admirable work ethic

Your loyalty and devotion to those whom you love

What I'm trying to say is that

I'm proud to be your brother

..oh, and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Much Love, Gideon.
