My Danielle

There is a very special person that I have not yet written about. Alexis's sister Danielle, bright, beautiful and intense, when she speaks which isn't often I always listen because she has a way of expressing herself that is honest and direct. There is no beating around the bush with Dani, she says it like it is and is usually right. People who don't know her may think she's shy but I know better, Danielle is an observer, she is completely aware of whats going on around her and will not hesitate to speak her mind if the circumstances require it. She is one of the most loyal people I know, and she loves her family deeply. Sometimes its easy to overlook Danielle especially after Alexis relapsed when she moved to the background and stayed there, not wanting to make waves trying to stay out of our way as we prepared to leave, but she understood what was happening and her quiet strength was unwavering. Right now I am missing Dani and I know she's missing me, I know this because she doesn't phone or email alot and she refuses to read my blog this is because connecting with me makes her sad, reading my blog makes her miss me, I get it and it's okay and Dani, really soon you're going to arrive in Tel Aviv only 8 days - better brace yourself because I'm going to bruise a few of your ribs!!
