A Special Place

I've been feeling out of sorts lately, as my "Jesus Birthday" approaches. The big 3-3 is coming friends and I don't exactly quite like the way it feels. Single. No kids. Most of the time, that's a very good life for me. It just works, but there have been recent days when I found myself wondering if I made the right choices. If I'm where and who I'm supposed to be.

Today, a 5th grade writing assignment dedicated to me, proclaimed very loudly, "Yes. You are EXACTLY who and where you're supposed to be."



Just in case you can't read the image:

A Special Place

My favorite place to be is, at my Aunt Mimi's house. We always have fun together. Every time I see her, I get excited! We get to play cards, watch TV and look for red tree frogs in her backyard. I also get to help clean sometimes and talk about things.

Every year she helps me pick appropriate school clothes and supplies. She helps me with things I do not understand and I enjoy hanging out with her, especially when we have dinner together, we go get ice cream to top off the night!

I love her because I will always have fun and feel safe and loved. I can get advice, and practice at beating her at cards. I can always talk to her about school, friends and so much more. I don’t know what I would do without her!


I Love You Mimi !
