Treasure

This year I got the best birthday present ever. My niece came to live with me. Though it has been a whirl wind of a few days she has become the light of my life. She says the craziest things. She makes people smile. She is a ball of energy. But the best thing is that she reminds me of my sister and makes me feel like she is still here.

I always said that I would have a little girl that is always wearing pink and loves to dance. Well she is just that. BUT she is already signed up for t-ball and is excited. Of course though she did pick out a purple and pink glove. LOL

She has said thing these last two days that have not only melted my heart but brought tears to my eyes.

"You're like my mom and I am like your Daughter. We are funny like this huh? It is kind of cool to call us mommy and daughter. We can keep doing this right? "

"I love you mommy, but I miss my real mommy. I wish I could see her. "

As I said in Stacy's service it take a village to raise a child and well my village has come out in the masses. Special thanks to Grandma and Papa, Erika and Tina, The Elliott's, Starks/Falkners, Pealos and George's and everyone else who has offered help in so many many ways. No matter how long she is here with us, Alyssa will always know she is loved.

Xoxo Terri and Alyssa

  1. AND no matter what happens, she knows that she has someone who will fight to the death and then some for her, and at the end of the day, that is what every child needs.....you are amazing. There are SO many people who would "say" that they need to do something....you flew thousands and thousands of miles and DID something....truly a miracle my friend.
