Happy Birthday Tom!
We wish you a wonderful birthday full of fun. You are my big brother and although through the years I haven't been fond of some of the torments you put me through, as when I'd come home from school and you'd tell me I wasn't home and shut the front door in my face, or when I was really little and asked where Mom was you'd tell me she'd died, when in fact she was outside. Yet though I was that annoying little sister you looked out for me, as when you told me my best friend was a terrible/controlling person and I should stop playing with her, or when there was a tornado around town and you made sure Dave and I stayed in the basement for safety. It's been a trip having you as a brother and I look forward to Blake and Lillian getting to spend time with you and knowing just how unique the Konie Family really is.
