For Ellen

We grew up nine years apart with two brothers in between, and — we like to joke — in two separate families, our memories, mindsets and approaches to life are so different from one another's.

But we are no more divergent than many siblings are. And in many ways, the important ways, we are alike.  When I need her, she's there. She is like a best friend, only so much more.


Today is Ellen's birthday, and as good a time as any to tell her how much she means to me.


Ellen and her three beautiful daughters.
