Happy Birthday my dear Ate(Eldest Sister) Elvie
How time flies and it's your birthday again. 'Seems not so long ago that you have this long hair, and I don't remember for how long and for some years now you've got to like the short style-so easy to manage I suppose. 
I have always admired my Ate Elvie for her being an obedient daughter, a responsible, helpful to a fault, hardworking, generous, intelligent, loyal and sweet person. I miss her a lot and I will be praying that her wishes will come true, that she will always be in good health and she'll have more fun times with my siblings, nephews and nieces- For you my Ate-I am dedicating this song that was always sung to me during my birthday.
Birthday Song
Words & Music by Don McLean
If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the sameSome things are not spoken of, some things have no nameAnd though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for youFor this is something rare for me this feeling is so newYou see I love the way you love meLove the way you smile at me,I love the way we live this life we're inLong ago I heard the song that lovers sing to meAnd through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melodyAnd all along I loved the song but I never learned it throughBut since the day you came along, I've saved it just for youYou see I love the way you love meLove the way you smile at me,I love the way we live this life we're in I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you And when you say you believe in meThere's so much magic I can do Now you see me now you don't watch me dive belowDeep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and goAnd I might sink and I might drown but death don't mean a thing'Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday songI learned from you, and you can't even sing.

For some reason, I couldn't publish my comment on here yesterday - seems fine now though, but we'll see.
Your sister sounds very special - will she be able to view this tribute?
Have a nice evening :-)
Yeah, it worked!
i am not sure. she has no computer and always busy. she cancelled her phone last month, but hopefully she might see it if my youngest sister will find her-she's always busy in her little business.
Hope she does - you must ask her to, sure she would be very happy to see how much you care (although she probably already knows) :-)
Gee...I haven't been here in a few days and already there is a whole bunch of new work up! I love all your birthday wishes (lots of Scorpio folks out there...I'm one too!), and I love the sensual illustrations you've been doing. You seem to really be exploring so many aspects of life in your work..it's quite wonderful to see. Anyway...Happy Birthday to your big sister and all the other Scorpio folks!
