-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I slept in and that is what I needed. With working on school, and walking all over town, I became exhausted just doing that. But with a weekend, I knew I wanted to take it slow and lazy.

Walking out of my bedroom there were my two perfect sisters on the couch. It was as if they fell asleep. Then again, they always fake sleeping whenever they hear me coming.

I crouched down behind the couch and screamed, “Rawr!” and they both jumped and screamed. “Haha! That was so hilarious!” I laughed out. 

“Kacey, that was not funny.” Alexia said.

“Oh come on, I was only joking.” I said but then Taryn jumped on my back and tackled me.

“I got her! Alexia tickle her!” she screamed in my hear as I went down.

“No! No! Not the feet, not the feet!” I yelped. 

My feet were the only spot I was ticklish. When someone tickles my feet I go crazy. Just one touch and my feet are flying in the air kicking. I hate it when people touch my feet, but when my sisters do it, I know they are messing around, so I try not to kick them in the face.

We were all laughing, having a good time. Well Taryn and Alexia were, me not so much. When your sisters gang up on you and they tackle you with all their mite to get to your ticklish spot, you’re not really in a good mood. 

All of a sudden there was a knock at the door. Who was it? I didn’t invite anyone to come over.

“Who is it?” I asked my sisters to see if they invited anyone over.

“No idea.” they both said.

I walked to the door and to my surprise it was Logan with Lauren. Lauren gave me a giant hug. It’s been awhile since I saw Lauren and actually signed to her, so I forgot everything that I had learned. It wasn’t much, but I can’t believe I forgot everything.

“What are you doing here?” I asked but Lauren started signing. “What’d she say?” I asked Logan.

“She said that she missed you and wanted to see you, and your sisters.”

“Tell her, I missed her too, and she can go play with them.” I said and Logan translated it to Lauren. As soon as she got the message she ran inside, Taryn and Alexia went to their room while she followed. “What are you really doing here?” I asked Logan as he came inside.

“I wanted to see you. I thought we could spend some time together like we used to. That, and Lauren really wanted to see you and your sisters.” he smiled his cute smile and I could help but smile myself.

We walked back to the couch and sat in silence for at least five minutes.

“I’ve been drawing a lot.”

“That’s really cool. I’m happy for you.” I said to him.

“I took another peak through my dads sketchbook, I mean I really looked at it. In his drawings there was something meaningful in each picture. He drew one of Lauren when she turned one. After my parents found out that she was deaf, my dad couldn’t be any blessed. He loved her, no matter what she had. But in this drawing, he drew hands all over in the background with a message.

He had wrote:

My dearest Lauren,

No matter who or what you are, you are still my little princess. I love you so much and you must fulfill your dreams and never give up. Love dad.
