Lil' sisters can't stay little forever

It seems like yesterday when she fell off her bike riding up and down Roosevelt Avenue with her oversized glasses with the lilac rims that everyone, including me, found to be the center of humor on more occasions than I'd like to admit. She's blossomed from toddler to teen to temptress - as I would imagine her boyfriend may consider - all in the matter of minutes. Above all, she's still the sunlight even when the sky doesn't seem so bright and the North Star on the most cloud-ridden night.
