Sweet Sixteen

Cake and Presents. Those were the only things on her mind tonight. Wide-eyed, in a deer-like confused trance, she ran around the house grabbing hold of Hannah, her sister of comfort. That was Heidi, my three year old sister’s evening, furiously concerned and in the action, as my used-to-be youngest sister celebrated her sixteenth birthday with some friends. I couldn’t help but think this might be a bigger day in Heidi’s life, than in Becky’s.
