God sent me an angel friend when I needed her most. She is the sister of my heart, the one who knows pain too well but is the strongest, bravest person I know. The one who points me to Jesus and always covers me in prayer. The one who taught me how to approach motherhood with grace and humor. She taught me to lean into my pain and learn from it, to let it strengthen me rather than break me. She’s my inspiration every time I write because she is such a big part of my story. Happy birthday. Looking forward to many more late night couch chats with our “special” cocktails when we are gray and wrinkly and wearing diapers. @carahaleblian
