In Kanji, that’s what your name means. When put together, it means you’re a beautiful flower.
And yes, you are. A flower who’s blossoming day by day, made perfect by God.
I know that the first thing that people will say when I ask about you is beautiful. And while yes, that would be my answer, too, I want to tell you how beautiful you are.
Loved by God, was sacrificed for, worth the blood of Jesus and to be treated like a princess.
Your beauty is not only external, it is who you are.
Your wit, your craziness, your laugh (I know people love that about you because I do), your honesty and your realness are only a few things about you that bless me so much.
You have done so much for me not only this year but all my life. My 2013 wouldn’t have been complete if you were not in it. You’re not a cousin, you are a sister.
