11 years ago


Marisa was born! Happy Birthday little girl! You will always be my little girl. Even when you are taller than me, which will probably happen in the next few years. Even when you are sassy and bratty. Even when you choose to ignore me.

I am very thankful that 7 years ago I listened to you. You said to me one Saturday, "Hey mom, it's Saturday, shouldn't you be at work?" That was my aha moment, when I realized that I was losing you. You've always been a daddy's girl, but I've worked really hard to show you that you could trust me too.

The past couple of years have been hard on you, but I know you are a good person, and will grow up to be a wonderful caring woman.

Love you Missy!

Happy Happy to Marissa! It sounds like your 11 year old is just like my 11 year old.. (she's 11, right?)

Yes, Marisa is 11.

*programming note* You will notice that her name is spelled with 1 s. It is spelled the same as one of the new TAR contestants. I signed up to be her on the TAR Be the Racer thread. Figured I should, although I don't know how long I can handle being a pink sweatsuit wearing blonde....
