.319 | to Julia, from Jackie

My dearest Julia, I don't know who I would be or where I would be without you. You embody kindness, thoughtfulness, perseverance, and strength to me, and I am beyond thankful for your lasting presence in my life.

I love being silly with you, organizing closets with you, baking with you, and sharing my secrets with you. I love watching you be a caring wife to Aaron and a loving mom to Dana. I love witnessing your moments of growth and moments of teaching. I love snuggling with you....

To put it plainly, I love you. And, I am beyond grateful for you.
