It's April 4th.
My little sister, Madeleine, is 17 today.
We rang it in last night with some Blink 182.
Today's line from her is "It's not your birthday!"
I'm really unimaginably proud of her for making it to 17...
There's been some rocky teenage years.
I thought I'd put these here since they're really some of the better stories...
This is something to remember.
Some things about Maddy...
She's an amazing musician.
Keyboard, Violin, Bass & some guitar. It's a gift.
She's an amazing Christian - Wish I had her knowledge & conviction.
She wants to work with autistic kids & do music therapy.
She's a hell raiser. You cross her and you'll KNOW it.
She's an amazing writer.
She's an amazing photographer.
&& I love her.
Maddy @ age 2 bit my hip so hard after I took her blocks that I bled & still have the scar.
Maddy@ age 14 refused to have her blood drawn till our parents bought her a bass guitar. That's when she became a bassist.
Maddy @ 16 snuck into the mean neighbors pool with me one night last summer when it was raining. We swam & ran.
Maddy @ 16 ran around the front yard with me half undressed in the dead of night. I dodged the bush. She didn't. We WERE sober. XD
Maddy @ age 15. Some kid calls me a faggot-bitch and before I know it her fist is connecting with his face.
Maddy is still the only person who can get away with laughing during one of my dad's lectures. Not even he wants to mess with her.
Maddy @ age 4 clipped the toes off my favorite barbie with toenail clippers. I was PISSED. I was also only 6 so I couldn't cuss her out.
Maddy is sitting next to me. She's not happy with the reminiscing. XD @ age 16 she made up a dance to go with Brokeback Mountain. AMAZING.
Maddy @ 16 on the sidewalk "We're Gabilliam mother fuckers!!!" *Mothers with strollers dash out of the way*
Maddy @ 5 got caught into the peanut butter & told my mother that her & I had traded lips so I was the one who should go into time out.
Maddy @ 14 puked on my portable CD player...I haven't gotten a replacement one yet. I did laugh though.
Maddy @ 14 filled our brother in law's new leather shoes with apple juice & left them outside to freeze.
Maddy @ 16 braved hurricane Ike with me in Texas. We didn't set anything on fire. She did save us by finding the only ice around.
She's my little sister.
Life has been good to me.

ReplyDeletethey are so neat to have! seriously, email me if you want one!

Hahaha oh my gosh Maddy is so awesome! Maddy @ 4, I literally laughed out loud at that, she's quite the character, :P.
