Little Sister

I bet Marsha remembers this picture as well as I do, we were playing photographers with Kate, I think she was 2 or so. She was such a bright little girl and really quite a bit of fun even at that age, she indulged us and let us play with her.

Sometimes it's hard not to see her as this little girl all the time, but I'm working on it. She's all grown up now, 19 years old! I don't get to talk to her much and I think of her often. I remember what it was like to be 19, in fact my life was pretty darn similar to hers when I was 19 which scares me in a lot of ways!

The great thing about Kate is that she is my sister (not just mine, but ya know). Hopefully I'll get to see her this summer and we'll get to spend some sister time together and of course she can meet Paisley for the first time too!

I hope a lot of things for both of my sisters, some have already come to fruition for Marsha, like finding a wonderful man to be her husband and having a beautiful child ( I wish those for Kate too, of course in that order too! ). I also wish for both of them to always be happy and to always have people around them who love and appreciate them for who they are. I can honestly say that who each of my sisters are is a wonderful person and someday Kate, when you are a wife and mother to the right man (whoever that may be) you will be 100% comfortable in your life and with yourself.

I love you Kate, formerly known as "Munch" but now way to old for that nickname.....I am glad you are my sister...........really glad!

Are you TRYING to make me cry!? Well you almost succeeded. I love you too Heather. I remember both those quilts and that dress but not having the picture taken. I really hope I can come up to see you guys, but you have to remember I have Bruno with me, so if it's okay for me to bring him I would totally love to come. Hope you have a wonderful day and I'll talk to you later. Love you

That's how I remember Katelyn. And I remember all of your mom's beautiful quilts!
