She will always be my baby..

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be in the presence of my goddaughter.

I sent her an email to find out where she would be for her birthday this year. She will be turning 12 in a few short days. Of course, once I thought that she is one year away from being a teenager, I had to wax poetic and go on about her leaving babyhood. When did this happen? She was just a drooling baby, like yesterday. When did twelve years go by? So, I thoroughly depressed myself that little AC is going to be a moody texting grunting teenager next year. But in true form AC turned my day and mood around. She replied to my email this morning telling she will not become a moody teenager next year when she turns 13 and she will always be my baby.

That is why I love her to bits. She is the coolest person. She gets it and knows when you need what you need. She is the kindest soul I have ever met. She just wants everyone to be happy. She is joy to be around and always makes me smile.

I am so grateful I have had the honor and pleasure of knowing AC. I was truly blessed when I was made her godmother. It is one of my most treasured possessions. I love her to bits.

So, today I am grateful for my favorite goddaughter.
