The day my sister was born: May 25th, 2004.

My parents were in the hospital so both sets of my grandparents stayed at my house with me until we got the call that my sister was born. My grandparents asked me what I wanted for lunch and I answered with Spinach pie from Georges. So my four grandparents and I sat outside at the picnic table in my yard in the sunny 65 degree weather and ate our lunch on my parents china looking over the Chesapeake Bay. I remember the daffodils were blooming and it was the perfect spring day. I remember my sister was born shortly after we ate lunch and we went to the hospital. I was the only one that thought she would be a girl. I remember my mom holding a new baby and it was weird. The nurse gave me a cherry tootsie pop. That day felt like love.
