Happy Birthday

Today marks my little sister's 9th birthday! Well, she is my friends daughter but all my friends kids are like my siblings. On March 10th, 9 years ago this sweet girl was born. I haven't had the chance to watch her grow since day one but I have been lucky enough to have her in my life for almost 6 years. This girl brings so much joy to my life. She sure is such a sweet, loving, and caring young lady. I have been lucky to watch her grow the last 6 years and turn into this sweet girl and to watch God work in her little heart! I don't know what I would without all her "I love you's" or her "you're the best big sister" and all her [big] attack hugs I get when she see's me. She isn't biologically my sister but I am happy to call/claim her as my little sister. Love this girl so much. Happy 9th Birthday, Clara! <3 

Also, Happy 16th Birthday to a Teenage Boy in Heaven. I recall thinking, it's not fair, he doesn't have to deal with this awkward teenager phase. He gets to spend those years with God. What a lucky kid! You get another birthday in heaven. Do you still get birthday's in heaven? Maybe. Maybe not. Here on Earth you would have been 16! I have a feeling you'd be spending your birthday outdoors. :) Happy Birthday, Trent.
