Amazing Daughters

Cassie, how lucky am I to have 2 such amazing daughters? What a true blessing that you have blossomed from an only child of 18 years to a most loving sibling! You could have taken the news that a sibling was coming in envy and turmoil. Instead, you became the most sharing person.

You’re always ready for a fun cohort with Shannon, as well as happy sharing mom-time. “Mom, she needs you.”

You had a huge obstacle at 18, and you not only survived the process… you succeeded! You are the BEST SISTER EVER!

Relatives

From Mom

Isn’t it amazing that in our family there is no difference between blood relative and relative by marriage? Seriously, each of these people would claim you hands down as their niece/cousin with no reservation?

Ok, you probably don’t know what else to expect because that’s the way you were raised. BUT, as an adult it is pretty AWESOME to have non-blood relatives that treat you with total love and acceptance.

Did our excitement show?

From Mom

Did our excitement show too much? You had been gone away at school for close to 4 weeks… 4 long weeks! You were so sweet to call us along your route eastbound on highway 44! The last call we had gotten was when you were driving onto the 270 ramp… just a short 5 or so minutes away.

Little did you know, we had been waiting for that phone call! We had been looking out the window just waiting and waiting for you to arrive. I acted like I had nothing better to do than just look out the window. Dad kept coming up to the kitchen saying, ‘when’s the last you heard from her?” After the last phone call he decided to camp out now on the front yard. The funny thing… dad brought the football.

Seriously, I don’t think you were out of the football 2 seconds before dad threw you the football. Me… well I was prepared with little Shannon positioned onboard with camera attached. We couldn’t wait to see you! Our grown daughter on her first trip home from college. And if our excitement wasn’t enough, we couldn’t keep Grandma away either!  As you can see, if she didn’t see you with her own two eyes, she wasn’t going to believe you were ok.  Read more...
