I didn't think I had any photos really on my new phone, but here are Nicky and Arya... digging to the other side of the world. We got to the bottom of the rocks and realized the ground is, like, really hard. <3
We have so many memories of Arya. We met her when Lilah and Arya were in 3/4 year old preschool. All we heard about was Arya. Then we realized how awesome her family was and became fast friends. We love camping together, the girls went to beavers, playdates and Lilah even had her first sleepover with Arya.
My favourite memory is the one that goes with the picture. Lilah wanted to go and get things to make best friend necklaces so that she could give one to Arya. We headed off to Michael's and Lilah proudly gave it to Arya.
Every time after that for weeks they would run to each other as fast as they could....throw off backpacks, jackets and anything else that was in the way...and they would attach the best friend hearts together. It warmed my heart that my little girl had a best friend that she loved this much. Lilah now says "Half of my heart is missing" and I hold the memory of this day a little tighter. Arya is and will be greatly missed.
