Tomorrow the 23rd of December, is the 70th birthday of my sister. She was born on December 23, 1948.
But she keeps on saying she was born in 1949, a year ahead of her real birth year. We have 11 years age difference, while I and her oldest daughter is also 11 years apart.
Tomorrow, she will join my youngest brother with his daughter, to go to a town where the Basilica Minore of Our Lady is situated. This therefore means I will go to church alone or maybe with my son but he must stay at home to wait for the package of my sister from her 2nd daughter.
My sister who I love, is already 70 years old, and she complains of many health problems. I often tell her to tell the doctor about her problems once she goes for consultation.
I hope tomorrow will be a stress-free day for her, AND FOR ME AND MY SON TOO!!!
The vintage picture is my sister and me.

@Courage7 those old pictures of me and my siblings are what i used on Facebook to greet her. looking at the pictures, i sometimes chuckle seeing how ''great'' our clothes' styles were.
she is 11 years older than me but now that we are adults, i look older than her because i am taller than her.

I hope she has a good birthday. When we get older we get many health problems.

I know that Health often declines at old age for many people just try to help her stay strong. Congratulations to her for her upcoming birthday and I hope it is a good celebration for all of you.

Yes that is the 2 of us. This morning I tested her patience. I asked her where is the new jar of coffee that I previously opened. I told her the jar in the cabinet is not the opened one. The jar was sealed. So she went down and opened the seal. Yes .it was the jar.
She just smiled at me while I said "sorry".

Yes that is my teenage sister and the toddler me. I have no front teeth yet. She is preparing herself because she, my brother, and niece will go to the Basilica Minore in a distant town.
