Wrapping my head around it....


Or however the saying goes. I know I have 2 years yet...but, the past 15 have gone so fast that I cant not imagine how fast the next two will go. We are getting SOOO much information from colleges that I almost dread getting the mail. Its just coming and coming. Everyday. More letters. More emails.....more more more. But listen here, I am not ready to let her go. She is my sunshine on a rainy day. And even the 1 argument we have had in the last year, I am not sure who was saying they were sorry first her or me. No need to point out who was wrong, I just wanted to be with her and talk with her. And it feels good. It feels good to know that she knows that God put us together for a reason. And I thank him for it every day!! But its all happening to fast. She will be 16 in 2 months. 2 months. Then she will drive, work, drumline, youth group....but I also do know that when the weeks have been long. There will finally be a night she gets home, and I will know she needs me. She will crawl on my bed and just start talking. And once she starts, I move over, share some blanket and let her talk. Those nights are awesome. I love those nights. Little tired the next day at work. But well worth it. Its been fun, as Josh is also starting those late night talks. I think we were up till 11:15 the other night. Me, Jeremy, Josh and Amanda. We talked and talked and then talked some more. I think that was the night that they both understood, that we understood, some of the things they are going through. I love my kids. I love them. And when I look at them I see these perfect, wonderful beings.....I will stop my ramblings with a wish for everyone to see perfect when they see there kids. And with one of my favorite sayings.


Two great gifts a parent can give its child, one is roots, and one is wings.
