Update : Justine!

I've been away for quite some time,  so I'd like to take a little bit of time to fully update you on Justine Bailey Fink! She's now 3 as you all know if you read my Update post. Her hair is quite long now, we haven't really cut it, which both Woody and I like because Carol's hair wasn't very long, so that's something that makes them their own! She's stopped making up words and actually speaks English now! I also take her to France sometimes because I'm from there, and she can say a few French words! She's still really close to Woody, but after letting go of Carol, she's been drawn closer to myself, and we've been very close for the past years. She loves seeing the Malarian children. She enjoys playing with them and telling them stories about Carol! She's really good to them, considering a lot of them are younger than her. She treats the older children with respect, also. Justine has grown out of the phase where all she wears is purple. She'll wear any colour now. Justine is not very intelligent. Carol was very smart, Justine, not so much. She's a cry baby & a bit of a troublemaker. She causes me a lot of grief, but I love her. She has a poor memory, so sometimes, I have to remind her who Carol is and the fact that she has a sister. I'd really love to give Justine a sibling, but that just can't happen. That involves adoption, paperwork, or....ya know... which is a no no in our house. Speaking of house, we still live on a cruise ship! Justine never gets sea sick which is great! She does get sick though, it's in her blood, but the cause is never the fact that we're on a cruise ship. 

Justine is not really shy, only when you first meet her. So if you ever do meet her, don't worry about first impressions from her. In the long run is what matters most to her! Justine is independent. She is in the "I can do it on my own" phase. She wants to do everything by herself. 

Justine has always had a close relationship with my friend, Bailey. Notice her middle name is Bailey. That's where it's from! She's close with Cody, Maya, Maddie, and Zack too. We all adore her. Even Zack who has bad history with Carol, who Justine would hurt if anyone talked bad about her big sister. 

That's basically an update on Justine. 💜

Updated!

Good afternoon! It's Addison, back & ready to blog again and again! I've been taking a while off of blogging because of everything we've gone through. First off, we had to watch our beautiful Carol die, then Justine enters her terrible twos months later, it's all been a difficult time range, but I've decided to get back on schedule! Justine turned three on September 24, 2015. Carol should be 5 years old now. We celebrated Carol's birthday on August 4. Justine is the same age that we knew Carol which makes things a bit difficult on Woody and I. She basically acts almost the same as Carol, besides for the fact that Carol had Malaria in her third year. It's sort of making me nuts, to be completely honest. But she's really growing into her own person, really. She has her own personality! She's stopped saying that made up word all the time! I remember that phase when Carol was still around. She's grown out of that, thankfully. It kind of got annoying, not hard to believe. She's doing really well and so are Woody and I! All of our friends too, of course! 

Now, I manage my new business called CCA which stands for Curing for Carol Association. We fundraise to find a Malaria cure for Carol's name, and we treat and look after children with Malaria. We also look into them to see what is happening with them to see what really killed Carol in her Malaria. Yeah, Carol's death was ruled unknown. Apparently a Malaria attack can't happen. It has to be overtime or you'll know hours before. It doesn't really just happen suddenly. Anyway, I'm really excited with my new company! CCA has already made 1000 dollars over the year! It's pretty great! I'll keep you updated always! Thanks for reading today! Make sure to visit Carol's memorial site to say a little hello to her today! :)
