Favorite #7

Laurie - my cousin

Born 17 days after me and until we moved away, always lived just a block away.  We went to elementary school and middle school together.  Dreamed about boys together. Rode to school together in middle school.  She surprised me on my 14th birthday and flew here (with my great aunt mabel) to spend time with us.  She wrote and called all the time when we first moved away.  She filled me in on all the gossip that I was missing by moving so far away.  She understood what it meant to tell me. She stood beside me on the day that Stephen and I became husband and wife and has stood by me everyday since.  She always sends a birthday card and an anniversary card.  When I think of my life growing up it always includes her.  Christmas', Thanksgiving, Birthday's, going to the garden with Aunt Mabel, getting Dairy Queen, McDonald's and just goofing around.  I love her like no one else!  She means more to me then I think she even realizes!   I could not imagine a greater friend or cousin!
