For some reason my sister, Ashton, needed me to write something about my relationship with her for school or something and when I found it today in class I almost started crying. So I thought I would share it with you because I love my sister dearly.
And anyone who knows my story can see how truly awesome God's healing abilities are...
Ashton
My sister Ashton is one of the dearest, gentlest people that I know. Being 3 ½ years younger than me, we have not always gotten along very well, but today I am proud to call her not only my sister, but my friend also.Even from our earliest childhood together we have been very different from one another. I liked to explore creeks and fight the boys while she preferred to play with her dolls and dress up like a beautiful princess. Let’s just say that the room we shared together was an interesting mix of our personalities. But as strange as she was to me, I have always loved Ashton very dearly because she is my little sister.
Today, we are still very different from one another with our interests and personalities, but our differences only make our friendship stronger. Me, with overpowering enthusiasm and an uncontrollable mouth, and her, with a shy attitude and a gentle disposition, we have a perfect balance in between us. I hope that I have succeeded in being a proper example for my sister amidst all of my failures to her as a individual, whenever I have lost my temper or allowed my pride to say things that I don’t mean. I hope that she has been able to learn something positive from my influence and example in her life.
I look forward to seeing the young woman my sister will grow, and is already growing into right now. I look forward to seeing the man she will marry, the career she will pursue, and the children she will mother. I am very excited for her life because I know all of the potential she has to be a very great and influential woman. I am very proud of her and I love her very, very much.
I love you Ashton :)

That was so sweet of you to write, Erin! It makes me really glad to say i know Ashton today and warms my heart towards my own sister. It also surprises me to hear Ashton was at one point shy and quiet, and now that i think about it she is gentle in her own way. Your a wonderful sister and influence, and an amazing example of a beautiful woman of God, let's hope you rub off on Chelsea. Love you and miss you!
