Ari-el • The Jules Family

Ari-el Jules

The Baby, The Star

Small in size, huge in personality.

Ari-el — you’ll always be the baby of the family, but it’s been incredible watching you grow into who you’re becoming. You’ve changed so much in the best way — not just getting older, but finding your own style, your own interests, and your own voice. You’re an anime girly now, and the way you get excited about the things you love is honestly one of my favorite parts about you.

And don’t even get me started on the crochet — the little trinkets you make are genuinely amazing. You’re so creative, and it’s like your hands can turn an idea into something real. On top of that, your humor has been growing too — you’re getting funnier, wittier, and more confident in your personality, and it’s been so cool to see you come out of your shell more and more.

I’m proud of you, Ari-el. Proud of your growth, proud of your kindness, proud of how you keep learning what makes you you. You’re becoming an amazing little sister and an even more amazing person, and I hope you never forget how loved you are. No matter how big you get, I’ll always be cheering you on — always.
