Jacob and Julia

One of the hardest things to leave behind as we move is definitely Julia. She has been such a blessing to our family. Her help around the house, and the joyful fellowship we have had together has been wonderful!

But as much as I will miss her, I know that Jacob will miss her even more! She was his first "crush". Oh how he loves Julia! From the very first time she came to our home, he knew there was something special about her. She is one of the very few people that can challenge him in "wittiness", and the back and forth banter between them is adorable! She was always equally fond of him. He would look forward all week to her coming on Friday. Thursday nights as we would put him to bed he would ask over and over again, "Is Julia coming tomorrow?". He would rush out of his room the next morning to see if she was here yet. And then he would be coy, at least for the first few minutes, lol. She always made sure to find things he could help her with, and he would follow her around for hours.

We all love Julia, but I know she will always hold a special place in little Jacob's heart. And I am so grateful for the kindness that she showed to him.

With Love,
