a picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.
i don't know who made this 60 day challenge up, but how do they expect me to pick one person? there are a few large handfuls of people i cannot imagine my life without! all of my family, all of my close friends, my dog, the man i'm in love with, etc. that being said, i'm going to pick the one that i've been thinking the most about lately.
and that's my little cousin emilyne.
emmie was born when i was 10, and we have never lived in the same state. we only get to see each other when we visit family in virginia or when they visit us in indiana. when i was younger, our trips were a lot more frequent than they are now, and from the time emmie was born we were just drawn to each other.
don't get me wrong, because i do want kids someday, and i do think babies are cute, but the crying annoys the crap out of me. the screaming and not being able to make it stop. but it was different with emmie. out of all the babies i've ever been around, she is my favorite. you could just look at us and see the bond. she was never fussy if i was holding her, and most of the time i the only one who could get her to sleep.
then she grew into a toddler, and began growing into my mini-me. literally. she's so much like what everyone says i was like at her age. that probably has a lot to do with the fact that i'm so much like HER mother, my aunt becca.
we both have birthdays coming up, and we'll be turning 20 and 10 this year.
in the last decade we've grown not only to be close as cousins, but practically sisters.
and i love her more than words.
(i know the whole 60 day challenge thing is supposed to be like "one picture a day", but i think this one is special, so that's why i put more.)
