It seems like just yesterday we would have the summer to waste away and do nothing. Mom had to work during the day so I was home alone with Dixie. We had to find something to pass the time away. Normally that was video taping each other singing and doing "concerts", playing school normally I was the teacher because I was older lol or playing house.
Playing "house" was one of our favorite things to do! I would be married to Chris (from NSYNC) and she would be married to Lance (also from NSYNC). We had dolls we would play with as if they were our kids. lol and it was too much fun!
As we got older and started moving around some we stopped playing house or teacher but we still spent tons of time together. It didn't matter what we were doing as long as me and Dixie and mamma were together.
Dixie has truly brought me through somethings that she doesn't even know she has. When my parents were getting a divorce I knew I had to stay strong (even thought sometimes I failed) i had to stay Strong because she was looking up to me. After all I was the big sister! I have tried to set the best example I can for her because I want her to be the best she can be.... and that makes me want to be the best I can be!
I am so proud of her and the young lady she has become! She is smart, kind(sometimes), and loves going to church!!! She loves her youth group!!! She is also always there to make me laugh! I started thinking about memories today and cried because we are getting older and I wanna go back to the "dance and sing in our under ware days" but we cant.... so I just pray that we don't lose the bond that we have. (and the amazing bond we have with our mamma) No one will be able to brake that relationship between me, Dixie and mamma!
So I leave with this......
Happy Birthday Dixie! I love you and never settle for less than you deserve!!!!!! =)
