...now!
13.5 years ago i moved to houston, for the first time
my charge: to take care of this child
those 12 months were some of the brightest of my life
and, oh how i treasure the years
in which i have gotten to know this
amazing human being
{who cracks me up with her humor, kicks hiney at JUST DANCE, and is now the proud owner of a cell phone....geeeeesh, i love this girl}
xoxox
...and because i am a big baby, i cry every time i hear this song
