Yes, I know this picture of me, my sister and dad is not a recent picture. And there are a million grown-up pictures of her I could have chosen to post today. But when I looked back on this photo it just reminded me of what I miss most about my sister, I miss having the person I shared my entire life with until the day she died. I miss making new memories with her. I miss talking about the past and I miss the future that we never had. Today marks 8 years since my sister's death. It's unreal to think I haven't seen her in 8 years!!! I've been very comforted by my friends and family who have reached out to say they haven't forgotten Meredith and that they love me and my family. Thanks everyone for keeping her memory alive! She was so special to so many. We all miss you Meredith!
And here's my little Meredith and Berkley with our friend Noel during a play date today. Noel and the twins are 6 months apart and grew up together at our church in Greenville until we moved. This is our first time seeing Noel in 6 months ( I can't believe that ). The twins had a great time playing with their old friend and the mommies had a pretty good time catching up as well:)
And here's a great picture of Meredith wearing her new cowboy hat, well actually, it's Berkley's cowboy hat, but we couldn't find hers at the moment. Anyway, she's pretty stinkin' adorable in this picture, so I couldn't resist posting it. Note the awesome little Christmas apron as well. I wish I could've captured Berkley a little earlier; he was wearing the black cowboy hat, Christmas apron, and some play pink high heel shoes. Am, that picture would've been blackmail for the future.
