Meet my baby sister madeleine. She is my best friend in the entire world. We have been through everything together and I am so blessed to be able to call her my sister. I can honestly say that I don't know what I would have done without her. Yeah, we're your typical sisters and we've had our fair share of fights, but I love her with all of my heart. Being away at college and being 800 miles away from her is one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. I miss sitting on her bed and talking about life and boys and what to wear to school the next day. I miss teasing her and watching movies with her and just being able to see her smile. My heart breaks that I can hug her and hold her in my arms and tell her that everything is going to be alright. She's been in my life since I was 4, and I suppose you could say that I see her as my own daughter. I want to be able to give her the world. Well, today my baby sister is turning 16. I can hardly believe it! She should still be that little 7 year old girl playing barbies with me or house on my grandparent's farm or attempting to make snowmen in our yard. She shouldn't be a sophomore in high school. She shouldn't be able to drive a car or have a job. She should still be a little girl. I've always heard people say that "it seems like just yesterday they were toddling around the house," and now I finally understand it. I never knew how quickly time could fly until I measured it against my baby sister's life. So here's to Madeleine, Happy 16th Birthday! The last sixteen years have been such a blessing and I pray that there are many more to come. You are an beautiful woman of God and it is amazing watching you grow in Him. I love you sis.
