This is my little sister; the kid my brother taped up in a box and convinced he was going to send her to Abu Dhabi, a la Garfield. The little girl whose hands and feet we&#8217;d hold and pretend to throw out the 2nd story window. Before you start feeling sorry for her, just know the bullying went both ways- I am, after all, a middle sister! ;)<\/p>\n<p>We looked forward to mom&#8217;s Tuesday \/ Thursday shifts at the Disney Store every summer. Ah, sweet un-supervision! Would today be the day we convince Amelia she&#8217;s adopted? Would they lock me out of the house for two hours? The possibilities were endless!<\/p>\n<p>But here she is, my baby sister, about to be a bride! We took their engagement photos around downtown St. Augustine where this fall, they&#8217;ll become husband and wife. And I&#8217;ll be standing by her side, eyes welling with tears, and deciding at what point during the reception do we tape her up in a box. &lt;3<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
