Julia

This girl. I've known her for 18 years. Since she was not even a day old. That's about as long as you can know anyone. She was the girl, the friend, I prayed for. 

Sister, you've grown up so fast. I can't even wrap my head around the fact that you're getting ready to finish up your final year of high school, and that you'll head off to college in a few short months. I remember when you were pushing baby dolls around in my stroller, because I had somehow talked you into letting me use your fancier one.

You have grown up to be such a gorgeous young woman. Stay safe, stay strong. Make wise choices. FaceTime often. And please come back home when you graduate. I love you Beebs.
