If you know me well, then you probably know this beauteous young woman also.  Not only is she one of the most photogenic people of whom I have taken a picture, not only is she the newest graduate of her school's illustrious Nursing Program, not only is she going to be responsible for healing the world one patient at a time...she's my baby cousin.  The girl whom I've known since before she was born.  The girl whom shares her namesake with my daughter.  The girl whom I have watched grow from an infant to a teen to the young woman you see before you.  As I sit here, I am inundated with memories that I could share with you to make you understand the pride and adoration I feel for her.  Although, I do have some zingers up my sleeve that may leave her a little embarrassed.  Oh my gosh, like the time she...

Don't worry, I will leave all stories of a humiliating nature aside and just tell you that I am beaming with pride over her accomplishments.  Not only those relating to completing her degree but of also her involvement in the Jewish community.  Having recently traveled to Israel and Poland and the Ukraine, her commitment to her faith is admirable.  To see my baby cousin grow up to become what she has...well, my aunt wasn't the only one misting up over these pictures. 

Anyone else hearing the lyrics to "Sunrise, Sunset" in their mind?
