A Third Big Sister~
My name is Caroline Cook and I have three beautiful older sisters, Eliza Cook, Emily Cook Bullen, and Chelsea Anne Hale. I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have known Chelsea what seems my entire life. She has always been there for me. Whether it is tucking me in, telling me (and Eliza) stories to get to sleep, making us mac and cheese with Emily J and Em Cook, or giving me the biggest sweetest hugs. Chelsea is my ultimate role model. I look up to her and think about her each day. I feel so lucky to have even just crossed paths with her and even more lucky to be able to say she truly was an older sister to me. I remember when she would help Emily babysit me. I remember when Chel, Emily and I would spend the week at the Schneider's home to babysit them while Kirk and Nata were gone. Carli and I would always brag to our friends that we got to have sleepovers and hang out with Emily and Chel. We thought we were so cool, and actually our bragging worked, our friends were jealous too.

Chelsea is such an amazing example to me of true beauty. To me she is the most beautiful girl in the world. Her smile literally made the entire room bright. Her laugh could silence any unhappiness. Her hugs could turn anybody's day around. She is the ultimate vision of inner and outer beauty. She has the best heart and is inclusive, happy, righteous, strong, determined, and not to mention hilarious. I could have watched her and Emily make up dances or songs all day. Chelsea and Emily's friendship was beautiful. It is something every girl wants. They literally are a part of one another. They made each other laugh, cry, and smile. When Emily was in need of something Chel came running. Whether it was boy problems, girl drama, or just in need of some Chelsea and Emily cuddle time (that we all know happened too too often) they have the perfect friendship. They could touch anybody just by seeing them interact. Lately Emily has been speaking some major "CHEM" and I keep picking up on it. "CHEM" would be the infamous language that Emily and Chelsea created. Some might call it an accent or a voice they both do, but they refer to it as "CHEM" and if you know either of them or Emily J and Ange you most likely know exactly what I am referring to. Some "CHEM" words you have most likely heard, "well i'm sorrrry" "pannnnts(prounounced Pyyyyannts)" According to Emily any word can be a "CHEM" word you just take the vowel and make it long. I feel so lucky to have known the beautiful perfect Chelsea who touched not only my life but so many others. Her gorgeous spirit lives on and I am so grateful for her Birthday parties where we all can be a part of touching peoples lives as she did and help her in doing so. Thank you Chel for being my sister. For taking care of me, making me smile, and teaching me life long lessons. Thank you for teaching me about friendship and what it means to truly be beautiful. Thank you for being a part of my life and my entire family's. You are probably the favorite child and always will be. I LOVE YOU
Caroline Elizabeth Cook (your baby sis)
