I just now crawled out of bed. The opportunity to sleep in is definitely something to be thankful for today, but it is not my Thankful Friday entry. No, today I'd like to take a moment to stop and be thankful for a very important person in my life. When we think of in-laws the first thought is to wrinkle the nose a bit, but that's not the case when it comes to my sister-in-law, Katrina. In fact there are times when it's easier to just say that she is my sister. She has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With out her, I would no nothing about sex, drugs, or rock and roll. She is the strongest woman I know and has faced adversaries that would make most people just give up. But she doesn't. She doesn't ever give up. And I know that if I call her sobbing, with out being able to talk sobbing, she will get in her car and be here in moments. She is the woman I want to be when I grow up.

Today is Katrina's birthday. I am thankful that she has survived to celebrate another year. I love you Katrina!

Have a good weekend!
