Fair Week

(The picture I've included is your Cousin Kara wearing her crown.)Today will start a week of activities for the young and old. Our annual Cherokee Fair is starting today and will kick off with a parade at 4 pm. Today and this week will be another reason for me to miss you. You should be here with your mommy and sister to enjoy your first Fair. I could have probably entered you into the baby crawling contest, too!! Last year at this time I was pregnant with you and I was miserable. I didn't feel like walking around but I had to because your sister still wanted to go and ride some rides. Tonight your cousin, Kara, will have to give up her crown as Miss Cherokee. She has won all four crowns and tonight someone else will wear it. Your sissy will have to dress up in her dance outfit and be a part of Kara's program tonight. I really hope I can get her to cooperate.

Prairie went to Counseling and made a picture for you. Everything on it was you. She made sure to have your name on it so no one would think it was theirs. I don't know if she truly opens up about how much she misses you, but I know that in her little heart there is alot a pain and it's a sister missing her baby brother. I try to help her as much as I can, but I know that she'll have to deal with it in her own way, just like I have to. We miss you and we only want you back, but that is a major wish that will NEVER come true.

So, we'll go to the fair this year and we won't have you.
