One Week To The Brightest Star


Sent Star’s ticket to her today – I can’t believe she’ll be here in just one week. More than that though, I can’t believe it’s been two years since I saw the little girl young woman who we raised.

Although she went back to experience life with her own mama…I know in my heart that it’s the mothering I offered her that is bringing her back to me, still a beautiful soul.

Although I know how important it was for her to spend these last few years with the woman who gave her life…I am at peace knowing that it was us that gave her A life.

Although I missed her prom and her graduation walk because if the miles that have separated us…I know that come next Wednesday, I will have a front row seat to the rest of her life.

Love you, Star-Bar! I can’t wait to see you next week. Then we get to the business of making your future as bright as those big brown eyes of yours.
