Just My Girl and I

This girl makes me laugh, gives me a reason to smile, keeps me going and is by far my greatest blessing in life. She is such a mommy's girl and I love it. It was her and I conquering the world for years before I met Greg. She was my buddy, my partner in crime. She has made me feel like I can tackle anything that is thrown at me. She made me strong when I felt weak and loved me when I felt unloveable. Amazing what such a tiny human can make you feel.
She turned 9 in December, 9 years old...I am halfway done raising her. How the heck did that happen?! It makes me so depressed. I don't want to ever be done raising her. As much as she drives me crazy sometimes, I cherish every minute of it. She is no longer a baby but becoming a young adult. I watch her become more independent and it makes me proud and sad.
