Kathy,

You are my favorite because you were the first of the Mathews girls.  Everything about you was a joyous adventure.  Your first babbling, your sweet smiles, your little hugs, and how wonderful it felt to walk with your little hand in mine. 

You were the endless target of my camera lens.  I took more pictures of you than anyone else I have ever photographed.  No matter how many pictures I had, they were not enough. 

We had so many adventures: camping, traveling, and just driving around.  You were my constant companion and I loved taking you everywhere. 

I missed many years but I cherish the ones we shared and still hope that we can find time to share, time to have new adventures. . .

I love you best because of how much fun we had no matter what we did, where we went, or what happened.  I can still hear you giggle from when I said "Whoa, Nellie" and still can taste your tears when I held you when your cat, Killer, died....
