When she was a newborn, I would impatiently wait for her parents to go do something so I could babysit... I'd rock her and sing to her and pretend she was mine. I'd check on her a thousand times an hour to make sure she was still breathing in her crib. Life happened, and our paths parted when she was young - but I was able to watch her grow through pictures and updates from her mother, my best friend.
I can't tell you what a bittersweet feeling it is to see how beautiful she has become. Knowing that she is graduating makes me feel SO OLD! She's full of sass and has dreams and goals and it's just an awesome thing to be back in Texas to watch the rest of her life unfold... (and moreso to finish growing old with her mother, my best friend.)
Congratulations, Courtney! Seniors '13!
