I remember Nikki as being my best friend growing up. Whenever I was down visiting grama, I always asked Nikki to stay over with me. There are countless nights we stayed up late giggling, sharing secrets, playing barbies or ponies (whatever the theme was that weekend), or camping out on the livingroom floor with millions of blankets with the rest of my cousins...her sisters. As we got older we unfortunatly grew apart and life took us in oposite directions. But she made my childhood fun and full of laughter. I think we are all fortunate to have these few short years with her. And it helps to remember that God has a plan and a reason for everything.
