Once in a while, someone comes into your life and you have no idea what they are going to mean to you for the rest of your life. Just knowing they're there is comforting. Just seeing a text can make you smile.
I met my bff a long time ago. We were trying to figure out exactly how long it was a few weeks ago and neither of us know because it honestly feels like we've always been friends. I have trouble remembering a time when we weren't. It's like she's just always been there.
Sure, we've had ups and downs. Some of those thanks to other people but some thanks to me...in the end, however, we've always made our way back to one another and for that I'm grateful. My life is not the same without her in it.
We've shared are trials with our kids. We've cheered their accomplishments. We've cried and laughed, comforted and consoled. We've been there through the good times and bad while we were stubborn and sometimes when we were even mad. For some crazy reason, she's never dumped me for good! I don't know why that is, but I'm grateful for it.
The weekend I sent my girl off to college, she kept me from losing it. And she's spent the last two weeks making sure that I kept it together. Almost every day, there's been a little package in the mail from her to make me smile. From cupcakes, to Razzles to Elmo gloves, she made me laugh! She made me forget my worries and understand that someone cares.
It seems we're stuck with each other for good. I imagine us one day sitting in our rocking chairs laughing about pink daisies and all the other crazy things we laugh about and swapping stories about our oh so perfect grandchildren!
Little Princess Sunshine got a new car seat! Isn't she a big girl?
That's my Cooper. He'll protect me from anything! (Unless you have Beggin' Strips.)
You never made it to 3 or 4 or 5, but now you are 6. Happy Birthday, little one. This year would be first grade, ballet lessons or maybe baseball, riding a two-wheeler, jumping rope, making new friends, walking off to school. You didn't get to do any of those things, but your beautiful spirit touched more people than you could ever imagine and you'll never be forgotten.
The picture up there always makes me smile. It shows little Caylee's spirit--so full of smiles and life.
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
I don't think The Smurfs need to worry as much about Gargamel as they do Princess Sunshine. She seems to think they're quite yummy!
