Thirteen

Abigail at 3 years old, being flower girl in a wedding

Today my sweet little niece, Abigail, turned 13, older than I was when she was born. She's one of the people I love most in the world and the past thirteen years of watching her grow have been wonderful. She's an awesome big sister and can talk to anyone about anything. I think she's got an old soul. It hit me that she was growing up earlier this week when I called home to ask what she'd like for her birthday and was greeted with an official teen's answer: money.
