...can one person be?
If I live to be 100 I'll never get over the shock of just how amazing my sister is. There is nothing she can't do and nothing she can't fix. Every single time I've asked her for help I've gotten it and more.
It doesn't matter if it is small or big or personal or practical. Jackie knows everything. Think your cell phone is broken? It isn't - Jackie can fix it. Need flowers for a wedding? Jackie can whip those up for you. Need romano cheese but the store doesn't have it? Jackie can suggest the next best option. Need a place to live? Jackie will clear out her office and furnish it for $20 dollars.
Sometimes I don't even know I need help when I call her. Half an hour ago I was a little wild, a little out of my mind, and out of habit I called Jackie. In three minutes my problem was solved. I didn't even know what the problem was before I called her and she was able to name it and fix it within seconds.
How do I thank someone for my entire life? How do I begin to pay back all of the kindness and help she has given me over the last 30 years? She has had a hand in everything I've done. She supported me through college, planned my wedding, and lived every moment of my pregnancies with me, all while constantly reassuring me that everything is and will be okay. She has been my rock. She has given me the push to take each and every one of my first steps.
Her role in my life can't be overstated. She is as much a part of me as my eyes or heart. I am humbled by her and give infinite thanks to God for blessing me with such an amazing sister.
Love you, Jack.

I think you just did. That was beautiful.
I love you too Em! That made me cry, I'm so thankful you're in my life - what would I do without you?
