Rachel.

Your smile makes me smile. Rachel, when you graduate and go off to college and then come home, text me. I want you, me, my daughter Gracie, and your mom to hang out. How is it some people come into your life and you wish you’d know them forever. There you are. It felt as if we’d known each other forever. Meeting you at the pool. I remember emailing your mom while she was in China with your brothers. I loved when you wanted to jump off the diving-board in your pineapple bathing suit. I think God made it so we had to do a second, third just so we could hang out more! Your beautiful smile is a favorite.
