My Sister the Senior

Dear Holley, 

How are you already a senior in high school? Where did the years go? Our incredibly sentimental family is preparing for a bittersweet year as we watch you wrap up your days at Lexington and look towards college. It will be a year with lots of lasts. We will watch you cheer, compete and take your first day of school picture at our front door for the last time. Though this year will inevitably bring changes, we are all so excited to see what unfolds for you! Your future is undoubtedly bright and we know the Lord has BIG, WONDERFUL plans for you.

We will continue to pray that the Lord guides you very specifically in everything your hand touches. You do well whatever you put your mind to-- and that is certainly a gift from the Lord. I wish Dad could see the beauty you are to behold. Your kind, pure heart ministers to me on a daily basis and I know he is smiling down on you from heaven with pride. 'Tis no surprise that your first day as a senior falls on none other date than the 22nd.

Happy Senior Year, Little Girl! I hope this year exceeds your wildest expectations. We are all so proud of you and look forward to making memories with you as a high school senior!
