Happy times in our daily life. Here are some pictures of special moments ^_^
Esmeralda was born when Rubi was 9 years old, and it was the happiest day of her life up to that point. Ever since she could remember, Rubi had always wanted a sister, and now, there she was.
Since the day Esmeralda was born, Rubi has always wanted the best for her little sister. They have always gotten along and neither can remember ever getting in a fight over anything. Their bond is beyond words.
Throughout the years, Rubi went from being the older sister who always tried to take care of her baby sister, to thinking of Esmeralda as her absolute best friend, the one person she always wants to share life’s joys with. Esmeralda is Rubi’s companion in life and Rubi is that for her sister. And though Rubi is now ready to embark on a different and wonderful journey in life, even now, she still thinks of Esmeralda as her best friend, her baby sister, and the person who she wants the best in life for.
