those eyes.

my sister and i went out to enjoy our birthdays today.

we went and got our nails done and had a cup of tea at the corner side cafe

just kidding.

we went to a movie and really only talked for about twenty minutes.

but it was fun and enjoyable 

i got to be with just her.

 there is something different i have always noticed about anna

i never quite got why they were different but i knew they were

many of you know anna has severely dry eyes

she turned twenty five on saturday and has been told multiple times she has eyes as dry as an eighty five year old.

but those eyes are what's different

anna has bright hazel eyes that always seem to glimmer.

today she wore a green hat and her eyes were so alive.

i know almost better than anyone that behind those eyes is pain

the pain of growing up

i've watched anna

-go through high school

 -relationships

-and loss

i have seen the world break her 

and i know it continuously does

 just like it does to me and you.

but still her eyes glimmer

and shine

 and her life does the same

anna always loves on

with her beautiful eyes 

and her bold heart.

and if she can make it thorugh with the grace and beauty she upholds

then i can too.

i am blessed.

i love you annie. 

hap hap happy birfday!
