For the past two years we had Lori live with us as she attended a local high school. Lori is from Albania and is my husband's cousin. She is now an adult, having turned 18 in June. She is Ravessa's best friend and a big sister to both her and Dalin. She added a place in our hearts and has taken a little piece of us with her home.
It was a new experience walking into the land of teenagerdom, but if my children turn out anything like her, then we will be blessed. She is polite, courteous, and willing to do anything asked of her. She is confident, caring, and a person of character.
Lori brought with her laughter, fun dancing in the living room, quirky interpretations on the world, and a little teenage attitude. To see her leave was sad. She will be missed.
We love you Lori.
