My friend Lexie is a beautiful girl! She gives me hugs, she holds my hand, we walk with our arms around each other. She dances like a princess when she looks in the mirror. She loves the Disney princess. Her favorite movie is Toy Story. She loves to play in the swimming pool. She enjoys RED candy.
Lexie is just like most girls her age.
Thank you Lexie, for loving me, and letting me be one of your friends. You have taught me about love and friendship, about patience and understanding. You have let me be a part of your life. You bring joy to me every Sunday as we go to Primary together!
I am the lucky one - I get to feel of your love for me every week, as you give me your little mischevious smile and run down the hall, wanting me to chase you. I get to feel of your love as you stop walking and wrap your arms around me, giving me a GREAT BIG BEAR HUG. I feel of your love for our Savior, as you walk up to a picture of Him and say JESUS. I feel your sweet spirit as I remind you to fold your arms as we pray in Primary. I feel your love as we walk by our classroom and see our names on the door and you read mine and I can clearly hear you say "HOLLY"
Thanks to Lexie's parents, Michael and Elizabeth, for allowing me to spend a few hours with her on Sunday helping her to learn about her Heavenly Father. Thanks to Ethan and Jilly, Lexie's brother and sister, for the friendships that we share.
Lexie may have Autism, but I have a GREAT friend!
I Love you, Lexie!

THANK YOU, HOLLY! Lexie and I LOVE this post! She is pretty amazing and I know exactly how you feel! She's a hefty shot of Heavenly Father's love-but so are you! We know how vital you are to our successful church experience. And it just cracks me up that when she sees me when she's with you, she scowls at me. It's like she's saying "Go away, Mom! This is my time with Holly and you are ruining it!" There's no doubt abut it-You are amazing and an angel sent from above.:)
