My Sister, Lauryn.
Sitting here, trying to think of how to explain the ways in which my sister is my hero, I'm at a loss. Instead of words, I can describe my thoughts as the feeling of a really good hug, seeing the most beautiful thing in your life, and hearing the best music ever. That doesn't even seem to cover it. I have a very clear memory of being 4 years old, sitting in the hospital room on a couch, holding my baby sister after she was born. It felt amazing, and has ever since.And...
Anyone who has made an impact on someone else's life for the better is a hero.
