I still remember the first time I met this one.  She was only four.  I will never forget how she walked into my house (like she owned the place), went straight to my daughter’s bedroom, introduced herself, and began a friendship that has been EXTRA special ever since.  To say she is spunky is an understatement.  To say she has a contagious passion and joy for life would also be an understatement.  I don’t think I have ever spent time with her, when laughing wasn’t involved.  It has been a pleasure to watch her grow up and I dearly love her.   I am proud of the woman she is becoming and I look forward to watching God’s plan for her life unfold.
