Oleysia's Birthday

Today's Oleysia's birthday!! She's turning 13.  She is a month and four days younger than me.  While she was here we sometimes would call her my 'twin'.  We did almost everything together.  We made jewlery together, played games, did our hair, painted our nails, painted, and other things.  It could go on and on.  I wish she was here to celebrate her real birthday with us =(   But, we only have 124 days to go!! Only...I wish time would fast forward.  Oh, well, tomorrow school starts to help speed things up =)

Happy Birthday, Oleysia!
                  Love,
                        June

Upstairs...

I've been having a really  hard time going upstairs since Oleysia left. That's were we brushed our teeth before doing our hair in the morning, where we made jewlery together, where we would play ninja after lunch, where we'd stay up really late into the night, and laugh about things the little kids would do.  I've hated  going up there.  But about an hour ago, I was listening to a radio program online, then switched to facebook.  I saw that Olesyia had messaged me.  I was so excited and quickly got the translater.  We chatted for a little less than hour, with a promise to call her on monday and Skype soon.  I feel so much better, but I miss her more.  I want to see her and hug her and tell her Es Tevi Milu.  But I feel so much better. And I'm very excited to hear her voice again.  Es Tevi Milu, Oleysia!!

My Sister's Birthday

Today my sister, Abby, turned 11 years old.  Unfortunately, yesterday my soon to be sister and best friend Oleysia left *sniff*.  It's been a pretty crummy day.  We're all recovering from her leaving. The house seems so empty, so quiet.  We are all counting down the days until December =(  We've guessed around 133 days and counting.  Today we made a care package to send to her. We put, lollipops (her favorite), crayons, a notebook, gel pens and a lot of letters!  Ugh, I cannot wait until December!  My issue is, though, how am I going to have fun without her?  It doesn't feel right to have fun without her.  But while we were shopping for her care package stuff, my dad told me , life goes on.  Keep yourself busy, and don't do stuff like, last time we did such and such she was with us. He said that would just make it worse.  It's true, and it's helped a lot.
I can't wait to see her again!!  Es Tevi Milu, Oleysia! I Love you, Oleysia!
