A year overdue, in fact.
As I was going through the archives (also known as my ancient emails) I found something.
Something that made me feel special. Written to me by someone special.
Jan 18, 2008 I received (along with my other sisters) an e-mail from Rachel. It said;
hey my sisters
you guys are super cool
i want you all to know i love you
krystle you are so in style
nicole you are so cool to go to school
natalie you are always nice
( even if you push me off tramps/ treehouses/ dishwashers/ rugs/ windows)
but i love you so much
i love all of you
with love
Rachel
please write back
kiss kiss
love life
peace out.
How horrible I felt when I saw this. Did I ever write back? I can't remember.
Does my little sister know just how special I think she is? Does she know she is loved by her oldest sister? Does she know that this e-mail she sent me meant something? Does she know how good it makes me feel? Does she know that since I came across it I've read it every day?So to redeem myself I asked all of our siblings to tell me the top 3 things they LOVE about our little Ray Ray. We'll start with the youngest;
Annabelle says-
" I like how she plays with me sometimes."
" I like that she is pretty."
" I like how she sings pretty except that it hurts my ears sometimes when she sings in the morning blow drying her hair."
Gordon says-
" She's Hilarious."
"Friendly as heck."
"She is always fun to be around."
Natalie says-
"She cracks me up."
"She's so photogenic, I'm jealous."
"She is actually very considerate of others' feelings."
Nicole says-
"She's friendly and cares about family, friends, and animals!"
"She's fun to hang out with, she can be so funny and goofy at times!"
"She's beautiful and has a funky sense of style!"
Chris says-
"She has killer snow boots."
"She's fun to play Mariokart with."
"She's easy to get along with."
I say-
"She isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in."
"She has an amazing sense of humor. Literally she always has a smile on her face."
"She's beautiful. I use the word beautiful to describe someone who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She has a beautiful soul."
Rachel, I hope you know how much our family adores you. I hope every minute of your life you realize that our family is not complete without you. I hope you know that your sisters love you, we respect you. I am so thankful for your example, and a huge part of me longs to be more like you. You are so kind and I can honestly say I am privileged to be your older sister. It is an honor and a blessing and I am thankful for you. I love you.
