Mmm. This beautiful young lady. This is one of my dearest friends, y'all. I can't remember a time when I didn't know her. She is the youngest of three and we all grew up together. It is my privilege and honor to be just as close with her as I am with her older sisters.
She is innocent beauty and grace, she is sunshine on a cloudy day. She is the wind in your hair at the beach and everything that makes you smile. She's midnight giggles with a flashlight camping in the backyard, she's the go-getter that dives deepest and swims farthest in the river. She is my pretzel-baking homebody friend and the girl that plays volleyball with stringy wet hair in the rain for fun.
She is a selfless giver. She feels deeply, loves purely and pours her heart into others. She is an encourager and strives to make you feel seen and appreciated no matter who you are.
She is a musical being with a song in her soul. I little too self-critical but that goes with an artistic eye I suppose. I have watched her blossom and grow into the most lovely spirit I have ever met. She loves to learn and I don't mind boasting is as sharp as a tack. It still blows my mind that she wants to hang out with me. When we were little she was "my little monkey" (not to embarrass anyone ha!) Now she is my Sunshine Girl, basically the essence of summer itself. My photography buddy. My brightest pride and my hope for humanity haha. The girl who sings perfect harmony with me and knows all the same old Barbie songs that I do ;). I take joy in that.
She loves Jesus. My, does she love Jesus. She is a quick study and a thinker. Her insights at her age blow my mind each time. She's in the Word of God and she lives it. That's what gives me such hope and lifts my spirit: she is a Light. A princess that smiles and brightens the room, yes. But she glows like an angel and it's because of her love for God. I'm not trying to be too gushy here, guys, I just need you to understand how dear her friendship is to my heart. I don't know where I'd be without her. Here's to you, Sunshine. I love you.
Love, Sarah
