I guess that I thought that I would have been able to share this day with you regardless of our father, but that's okay, I do understand.
Since I have no way of sending you a private email, I decided to write to you here.
Julia,
Although you probably don't remember me, you still hold a special place in my heart.
All of those time when you would beg to sleep with me to have a 'slumber party' (you would have been about 3 or 4 at the time), I remember looking at you sleeping and hoping and praying that I would never forget those moments.
I never forgot.
I want you to know how much I love you, and I want you to be happy no matter what choices you make.
I know that you only know of me by what you hear from my haters, but that's okay.
If you need me for any reason, don't be afraid to reach out.
I was, am, and will be here for you anytime, day or night.
God has provided so much for me since I left, and I know that if you keep Him at the center of your life, you will be taken care of too.
So, my one and only baby sister and soon to be brother in law, I want to wish you many years of happiness and joy.
Julia, I miss you more than you could ever imagine.
Love Forever,
Laura
