Happy Birthday My Sweet Angel

NOELLE SARAH JOHNSEN
1994-2012

This is when we were younger... We'd go camping together with our moms up at Moreau Lake. These are the memories that I am always going to hold close to me and cherish. Yes in the above picture she is sitting on the toilet but when I say we were stuck together like glue, I really mean it haha. We did EVERYTHING together. 

For an example when we were younger we even took baths together! We loved to play with our toys and splash each other! She truly was more like a sister to me. We grew up together and I always pictured being able to share the rest of our lives together. 

 

The above picture is one that I am always going to love. Because I was older (by seven months) Noelle wanted to be just like me! she would copy everything I did and it always seemed to make us laugh. 

The picture shown above is the last birthday she spent with us here in the physical world. It was her 17th birthday and she got the cushioned toilet seat that she had wanted so badly. Not even eleven days later she was tragically killed in a car accident. But I was lucky enough to have been able to spend New Years of 2012 with her. 

Today would be her 19th birthday. Not a day goes by where I do not think of her. She wasn't only my cousin but she was my bestfriend. We grew up together and I never imagined i'd ever be without her. We planned on graduating and going to college together. And being in each others wedding. But when it came time to have kids I was gonna be the one to have them because she just wanted to be the cool aunt who took her nieces and nephews and spoiled them... So we had all that planned out... And those plans were shattered... I love her more than words could even begin to explain. I hope that she's living it up in heaven today for her birthday! Even though I already know the answer to that statement is "oh hell yeah, obviously I am!!" haha Today while I was at Fantastic Sams getting my hair done the lady doing my hair had dragonflies all over! She had on the dragonfly Alex and Ani bracelet, a dragonfly pin, and a dragonfly vase on her work station. So thank you for that sign today Noelle! I really needed it! Love you Loser <3
