Blog Challenge-Day Nineteen-"S"

S-Sarah

Sarah, my sweet sister, you are such a delight to be around.  As the middle child, and by far the quietest in our family, it takes longer to notice Sarah, but once you do, you realize just how much she does behind the scenes.  Always willing to serve others, she cheerfully works backstage to help the family, perfectly content to stay out of the limelight.  Shy and sweet upon first contact, Sarah nevertheless has a silly sense of humor, a delightful energy, and a vibrant personality which makes everyone love her.  In a sense, she shares many characteristics with her pet guinea pig, Grace.  Both are quiet and somewhat shy of strangers, love to cuddle, and are much more comfortable with those they know well.  For many years, Sarah has been little sis to me, the cute little kid who tags along behind me before running off to play with her younger friends.  But now that she’s eleven, and going into fifth grade (I remember the days when upper elementary was the biggest deal in the world) she’s become more than just a little kid, but a close friend who I can talk to and encourage.  Silly, sweet, sunny...Sarah.
