"What I Know About Kolby"

I know when Kolby was born we used to call her chunky monkey. She was so chubby; she had rolls all over her body. I know her eyes have always been big, beautiful and brown. We used to say she looked like Dora the explorer. I know when she was a toddler Kylie and I would tell her to put her mouth on the hose then we would tell her we would turn the water on only “a little bit” so she could get a drink of it. Than we would turn it on full blast and giggle as we watched the water spilling out of her mouth. She seemed to fall for it every time. I know as a young child I would “trade” her, my $3 one dollar bills for her $5 dollar bill because she would be “getting the better deal with more bills”. (I know I was an evil big sister). I know growing up You Got Mail was mine and Kolby’s favorite movie. We watched this all the time, especially when we went camping. I know she loves the movie The Wedding Planner, we have watched this hundreds of times and it has become her “comfort” movie. I know her favorite color is pink and she loves to eat sour patch kids. I know every time we go to McDonalds, Kolby order’s kid chicken nuggets, two sweet and sour sauces and a coke, the exact same as when she was young. I know at times she can be so serious like our dad but she has the biggest heart and cares and loves everyone around her. I know it may take awhile but once you have Kolby laughing she can’t stop. I know she is so hilarious and if you catch her in a funny mood she will have you bustin a gut. I know she loves to feel girly. She would spend a good amount of time getting ready and making sure everything was perfect. Not a hair out of place. I know she has a wonderful testimony of the gospel and is one of the greatest examples of someone who is truly Christ-like. I know when she smiles it lights up the room and you can’t help to smile as well. I know she is so smart and witty but quiet and gentle. I know I would love nothing more than to take this horrible cancer away from her, to make things all better. I know as I watch her little body day after day fighting and surviving, I silently pray that her burdens are lightened. I know my heart aches every time I see a tear escape from her eyes from the pain she feels. I wish I could take it for her so she wouldn’t have to go through pain. I know she is truly the most beautiful girl I know inside and out. I know when she gets older she will make some boy the luckiest man in the world to get her. I know she will be a great mom as well. What I hope she knows is that I love her more than she will ever know. I hope she knows that she’s my hero!! Superman and Batman don’t even compare to Kolby. I hope she knows she is such a wonderful example to everyone around her, especially me. Kolby is a wonderful sister, friend, granddaughter and daughter. I’m lucky and blessed to call her my sister…my friend. I am here for you one hundred and ten percent. I love you my Kolbsters!!!!
