I've been really nostalgic recently with my little sister's high school graduation coming up, partly because I feel like it was just yesterday that I, myself, was graduating high school, but also because it means my baby sister is going to college and becoming an adult. I feel like with family, especially siblings, it is so easy to take for granted the unconditional love and not spend as much time as you should with them. The past two years that I have been away at college, I have really seen my sister grow into her own person- which is both scary and exciting. Every time I come home I expect her to still be there just like we left off, but it's different- she has her own life that doesn't always include me (as my life at her age probably didn't include her either). I'm struggling trying to keep a happy face on as she embarks on this new chapter in her life, while all I want to do is drop everything and play veterinarian under our dining room table one last time.
I love you, Julia
A trip down memory lane.....
