Dear Sweet Susie,
This moment you feel on Christmas morning with your new baby doll...
Oh just wait!
Three babies will bless your heart and nothing will ever top it!
You won't always be this messy.
In fact you will wash your hands way too much and become a germ freak!
No matter how hard to try and resist...
You will always have a dog.
Food...let's just say you will always be passionate. Ha!
Those babies that never seem to fill up, never do.
They just get bigger!
Don't fight your Grandma when she wants to dress you alike.
In years to come, you will still dress up matching your sister.
This time it's funny!
Your Mom and Dad.
Never blame yourself for their divorce.
Don't do it.
Never say it won't happen to you.
It will.
Your Daddy.
He will always be your Hero.
Oh...and your next door neighbor.
That little brother that always seems to find his way to your room.
Let him stay just a little bit longer.
One day you will miss hearing his voice.
Your older sister..
You know the one that always gets to wear the cool clothes,
Has the good hair and pretty skin.
That one.
She will be your best friend.
Trust me on this one!
And don't cry when your fellow cheerleaders play a prank on you at the Pep Rally.
It was really funny!
That blue eye shadow and big hair...Yeah
It's not really as cute as you think it is.
It does top your mullet 3 years ago though.
On your graduation night...
Tell your Momma how much you love her.
It's not easy raising 3 kids on your own.
She needs to hear that.
It's OK that you don't have a boy friend right now.
The world does not end when you fail Math.
Pay close attention in English!!!
You should really reconsider dropping cheer leading your senior year.
You just might regret it.
That teacher that you are crushing on...he's a creeper!
And Susie..
You will be OK.
Enjoy the ride!
That was beautiful! We must be close in age ~ totally recognize those clothes and hairstyles! lol
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
