Have I ever mentioned how much I love this kid?

I love her zaniness. I love the fact that she’s an individual. I love her sense of humor.

I love how she speaks her mind. How she expresses herself, not just verbally (though she’s quite gifted), but also through her art.  I love her art.

I love how sensitive she can be. I so enjoy those moments of quiet reflection, followed by an unusually deep thought (at least, for an 11 year old ).

I love how she interacts with people of all ages. I love how she loves babies. And animals.

I love how she is becoming a strong and mature young woman. Our relationship is changing, but it is becoming stronger. I love watching her grow up.

I love my sister. I love…
