It's a bit sad that we have to be limited to only 11! There are SO many things to love about her! I remember when I visited, she gave up her room, which I know was hard, and every evening I would find my bed turned down, like in a 5 star hotel, decorated with flowers, and sprayed with linen spray, and she was just a little girl. She is the most precious big or younger sister a sibling could wish for, and such a fun girl for her mom to share "chick" stuff with. Gracie, we love you so much. All your family in SA
She sounds like a very special daughter!
