These hands.....

 Through the many years we have spent together, mostly shoulder to shoulder and, yes.... sometimes back to back....the moments that make my heart smile are the moments where her fingers met mine to form the DNA heart we both own.

We couldn't be any more different in a million different ways....but the heart is always the same. These hands were created to "fit together" to form that heart we've held each other through in difficult chapters of our lives.....wiped the salty tears of Joy and Sadness from each other's faces and replaced with a kiss.

Debbie has walked many roads with me.....infertility, death, and conflict, just to name a few, but she has also walked the road of restoration, joy, and compassion with me many MORE times.

So today....as my sister turns another year older, I want to thank God for these hands that belong to Debbie Calloway Rusk.....they are hard-working, GIVING and loving.....and they form a perfect heart of love with her sometimes difficult and opinionated baby sister, Liz.

I Love You Sissie
