Wow, can you believe it? Our amazing sister is turning the big 4-0! Seems like just yesterday we were sharing (or, let’s be honest, fighting over!) clothes, whispering secrets after bedtime, and making questionable fashion choices together. Where did the time go? Forty years… that’s a whole lot of memories, laughter, and maybe a few embarrassing moments we’d rather forget (but probably won’t!).

Of course, turning forty can feel a little daunting. Society throws all sorts of expectations at women, especially around this age. Suddenly there’s pressure about career paths, family goals, and the constant battle against wrinkles. It’s enough to make anyone feel a little overwhelmed and forget just how incredible they truly are. But you, my dear sister, are not just anyone.

Another year has zoomed by, and just like that, you’re another year older! It feels like only yesterday I was teaching you how to ride your bike, scrapes and all, and now look at you, navigating life’s highways with such confidence and grace. Time really does fly when you’re having fun, and watching you grow has been the greatest adventure of my life.

But let’s be honest, getting older isn’t always a piece of cake, is it? There are tougher challenges, bigger decisions, and maybe even a few more gray hairs popping up (don’t worry, I’ve got a head start on you there!). Life throws curveballs, and sometimes it feels like you’re swinging at air. It can be overwhelming and uncertain at times.
