To the girl who lights up our world with her smile... she will never know how much we needed her. The way she loves us, the way she dances to every song she hears, the way she bosses her brothers around (and they happily listen), the way she gets excited when she sees a piece of chocolate,

It's funny because I truly thought I would never be able to leave our home in Illinois without being SUPER sad about it... and so far, I haven't felt a ton of sadness over missing our home. And I'm talking about the physical home... not "home" as in the town, our friends and everything that feels
