I knew Kianna through my cousins's friend who was Kianna's cousins who I had grown up around. I was about 10 years old when my sister Moriah and our cousins Bethany and Abigail and I had formed this journaling club. But I didn't actually met her until I was 11 years old. Even though we only lived 15 minutes away. Two shy girls met and from there on were the best of friends. Kianna is was smart and funny. She knew had to make one laugh. She has a real talent for instruments, she could teach herself any and learn how to play them. A lover of nature and through her love for it, it made you appreciate and love the world created. With every conversation we had she poured in it, she invested in you. She strives in achieving her goals and doesn't let mistakes and mess ups get her down, she pushes herself harder with such determination that feels like the world bends at her perseverance. The most patient person I ever came across. Patience was never my strong point but patience was one of the things she really sparked. As well as being a peacemaker. We rarely fought and if we ever did she always found a way to settle our differences to where they both worked out for us. She had such a talent for art that was so appealing and satisfying
We lost touch and drifted away to the point our friendship walks on different paths. Though we may not be friends, my friendship with her was like no other friendship I had with any other. She made the world come alive and feel real (not that it wasn't) in the way you could feel every emotion. Joyous/Joyful was what I constantly called her. She saw your strengths and weakness and called out the areas you were the strongest and encouraged you to seek them out. Without her, I would not be faithfully be writing after Sarah's death when I felt so much pain and couldn't write without thinking about Sarah.
