Yimika's Birthday Present

Yimika today you are finally 18 years old! You're grown up! From the beginning of the year, all the way to the point where you are close to graduating and becoming a freshie in college, we have become so much closer than I EVER thought we would be. You are honestly the best sister I have ever had (beside tey tey).  You have made a huge impact in my life and I will never forget that. You and Tey have molded me into the more improved person I have wanted to become(and yes I still have work). You were there for me from Jeffry all the way to now with guys. You have been there when I am crying and you have cheered me up by making me dance to Carribean music or by twerking on me till I start laughing. You have gave me the best advice ever and I will use that probably till I die. Of course I will never forget when you said "Even though this hurts, you can't make it look like it does. So don't cry over him. Wash your face, redo your makeup and just go and smile." You have been through a lot in your life and knowing the fact that you trusted me enough to tell me even a little bit about the things you went through, I will that cherish forever. You are crazy (in a good and bad way lol), funny, beautiful, caring, trustworthy, and most important you are very, VERY strong. I will never, EVER forget you Yimika and knowing the fact that you are leaving soon is already making me cry. I am still processing the fact that next year I won't have my big sis there to say some stupid comment to me then hug me just cause you know I can never stay mad. I can't wait till we have our monthly wine parties and I am going to show up probably 20 minutes late with my hair half done and me eating a bagel. I love you Mimi and when you graduate I will cry so much. I will never forget all our memories and our lineage. Happy Birthday. I hope you like this.
