I'm not close with my siblings. We've lived on opposite sides of the country for most of our adult lives, and I’ve never made time to get together. They're both terrific parents, from what I've seen of their kids, and perhaps someday we'll start hanging out on holiday or something.

Today is my sister's birthday. She's had a bit of a rough patch of late, but she's strong, smart, resourceful, beautiful, and most importantly, she's a genuinely good person. I'll call her a little later in the day, probably won't get through, and feel regret that I haven't spoken with her.

But: I hope she knows I love her, and we're sending the proverbial good thoughts, and I'm keeping a place in my heart for her.
