Update in Happy Tears

Well, I just looked at this blog and it almost brought tears to my eyes. Writing this post almost brings tears to my eyes. This blog brings back so many memories, both sad and happy. I remember being devastated when Casey left for college, then beyond overjoyed when she came home for her first break. Then, I was only seven years old. Now, I am proud to be the "ripe old age" of eleven. Erin is the mature age of sixteen and driving, Caleb is a freshman in college, and I am proud to say that Casey is graduating college in May and moving on to medical school. So much has passed and happened since we started this blog, and I wrote so often because Casey said that she would check it all the time, so I always made sure she would have something to read and maybe comment. It was one of our only ways of communication when she wasn't on her breaks. I loved writing, and posting on a blog was a wonderful way to express it, especially knowing that my older sister (my second mother) would be reading it. My older sister Erin was only 12, Caleb was 15, and Casey was 17 when she moved in. Although I have gotten used to her being gone from the house, I still miss her once in a while. We had a relationship that was like none other. She had practically raised me, and when she left it was like my own mother leaving. Even though I won't see her at her usual break times when she moves on to medical school, she will always be with me in my heart.
  I love you more than you'll ever know, Casey, and I will keep loving you forever, until I die, when I'll love you even more than I do now when I'm in Heaven.

  God bless all of you, and live your life to the fullest.
  Love ya!
