My grandniece, Zoey Iverson is such a happy girl. She is the middle child of my niece, Kassie Franklin and her partner (Zoey’s bonus dad), William Burr, but in many ways, Zoey is the oldest child, since her older brother, Lucas has Down Syndrome. Zoey is such a great sister to Lucas and her younger sister Alicen. Zoey has a mother’s heart, and mothering ways. I think that someday she will be a great mom, but that is definitely down the road a bit, since Zoey is just turning ten today. Still, that is a landmark age…the age of double digits, and in that, Zoey has arrived.
Zoey probably grew up quicker that other kids. She knew at a young age that her big brother needed extra help with things, and she stepped up as her mother’s helper in that area. She loved her brother and wanted him to 
have the best life that he could have. I know that Zoey was instrumental in her brother’s development, and he is a great kid who can do so many things because of her. These days, Zoey is still being a great sister to both of her siblings. She and Alicen are best friends, and love playing together. Alicen is 2½ years old now, and she thinks her big sister is the greatest. Of course, that is all part of Zoey’s charm. No, it isn’t an act…that’s who Zoey is. Her sweet disposition has rightly earned her the title of the greatest where her family is concerned.
Zoey is a great help to her mom and dad. And she always has a great time with her family. She loves camping and being in the outdoors in general. She is an active girl who loves nature, and all the beauty it holds. That’s probably why the camping appeals to Zoey. She loves swimming and summer in general, but then what kid 
doesn’t. Even when a student is good in school, like Zoey is, there is just nothing like summer and the freedom it brings. The freedom to sleep in, play all day, and go to bed just a little bit later than usual…let’s face it, it doesn’t get better than that. Zoey loves crafting and selling her crafts, so she can make more crafts. She got her craftiness from her mom, who is Zoey’s hero, and always will be. In fact, her mom is where Zoey got to be the person she is now. Today is Zoey’s 10th birthday. Happy birthday Zoey! Have a great day! We love you!
