Tara

Eden is certain that Tara is her best friend. If not her best friend, she is the closest thing she will ever have to a sister. Both the kids adore Tara in a profound way. Recently, Tara was given an assignment to creatively write about her favorite relative. She chose Eden which is an honor to Eden that Tara could never comprehend. Not only were her words inexplicably kind but they were beautifully written - so much so that her teacher highlighted her work to the other students in their online forum. I am so proud of Tara for her talent in writing and for the gift of love she has given to her cousins. She will never know how profound her impact is on them. Below are Tara's words...

Eden Hope Walla

“I love you,” she quietly mumbled while we were in the car. It was those three beautiful words that made Eden Walla my favorite relative. As she grew up she was a bowl of fun, also, as funny as a bowl of monkeys. Right now she is only five, however, she is as smart as a whip. It is like she is a walking computer. Her talents are like mighty mountains standing tall.  Additionally, when she is on a surf board her face lights up like a light bulb. SPLASH, she wiped out, however, she happily gets back up with a smile on her face. We have been together forever; as a result, we are like two peas in a pod. Ultimately, my love for Eden is as deep as the big blue ocean
