A person who is near and dear to me is my little cousin Maddie. She is so fun to  be around because we are so close in age. Whenever we are together its always a good time. We can play around or talk seriously together. Though one of obstacles that we have to get around is the distance. I live in California and my cousin Maddie lives in Washington. I love her so much. I consider her my sister. We are very close and talk all the time and see eachother almost three times a year.
