Goats and Jokes

HayleeDale—she is a magical deck of cards. If she came with directions that would have been helpful. But she did not—It is ok--I got her figured out. I knew when I met her, she would be with me always. We have played Clue and love Family Feud. We tag each other over the dumbest jokes and hilarious goats. I know that I am not her mother, but she calls me for advice. And to ask if she can use garlic instead of spice. If wishes came true… I would wish for a moment to sit with her mother, To tell her how truly wonderful her daughter has become. That she is smart and silly, beautiful and pretty-- Her heart is full of gold. And not to worry, she is finding her place in this world. There is so much for her to look forward to. As her life evolves and things change--they always do. No matter what this world throws at her, she is going to be okay. She is stronger than she knows and she thinks with her head. Be assured she loves and misses you each and every day. I catch her reminiscing and looking at pictures— She keeps you close at hand. Be very proud of her for she is a GreenBay Packer fan. She is a blessing in my life, I love her dearly too. So if you don’t mind I will keep an eye on her And be there if she needs me too… Copyright © Merri-Merri/fonda anne….
