she's moving across the ocean




i look at this photo, of when she was just a wee little one,
and i try to pinpoint exactly when it was that she got so womanly. so brave.
so adventurous. so confident. so self-sufficient.    

i'm 32, and she's 23 now.  how cool, never to happen again!
i'm in Oregon, she's about to be in Hawaii.
indefinitely.


tomorrow she's flying solo, with no return date,
to those islands that borderline heaven
to see what she sees,
find what she finds, 
to live the island life.

i'm so proud of you sis.
my chest is puffed full.
and so is Mel's. 
we talked tonight and we are so dang proud of you.
should we have been carefree at 23,
we'd be doing the same damn thing.

Love You Bab's!
don't forget your sissy back on the mainland.

AND USE INSTAGRAM.
i WILL pull some big sis shniz on you if you don't.
NOT KIDDING.  :P

I am sure she will learn to learn to hula and live in a hut, pick coconuts, spit flame fire and become friends with a guy with a piece of material covering his privates. Then when you go visit oh, the sites you can see.
