Happy Birthday, my young plum!

My baby sister turned 23(!!) a couple of days ago! I have scattered Amelia's birthday wishes across the month of May this year. She is too busy enjoying her wonderful life to notice, I'm sure. So here is a belated tribute to the girl I love: the strong and vibrant mother of incredible children; the mature but cheeky wife of an adoring husband; maybe the funniest and savviest person I know; the torchbearer of Grandma Humphrey's genes; and usually only like the third biggest pain-in-my-backside at any given time.



Amelia, you inspire me with your love for, and devotion to, family, and your glorification of a simple life. You amaze me with your strength and your capacity to accept and forgive; not to mention the things you come up with that make me laugh.

And you're just so beautiful!

Everyone who knows me knows I'm smitten with you.
And this one's for you [Hit it, Text!]:

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you wanna be free
So I'll let you fly
'Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling 'cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably
You'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart babe
Our love will never end

I know that you'll be here girl
When Isaac and Mitch get a little bit older o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I know that you'll living in Eugene
Oh baby believe me it's only a matter of time

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
