Tedi-girl goes home today

.... and I just know when she pulls out the driveway,

I am going to be really sad.

I love all the time spent with the little ones

but when they get to be teenagers, there is so much

less you have to do to entertain them and so much

more that can be talked about.

Tedi-girl and I we did lots and lots of talking over the

last three days.

Thanks to her Mom, we were able to extend her stay

to today. I know this is a big sacrifice for Tif because

she too was off of work and had to loose time

spent with her own child but it has been way to long

since I had my time with this godchild of mine.

She has grown so much and sooooo good.

When you spend this much time with your Nannie

who likes to talk about life and deep conversations

I am able to find out a lot about where a child is.

This child is moralistically well.

She also loves to have fun and in some ways

reminds me of myself such as when

at bingo last night someones musical ring tone

goes off she breaks out into a dance.

Such as when the man sitting next to her wins a pot

and she decides that he is pretty cool but it is obvious

that he is a "slow adult"

she goes out her way to converse with him a few

times through the night.

She and I, we talk about a lot last night as we stayed up

until 2:30 am to wait for baby girl to get off and to

savor every minute we had left together.

TIffany, you are doing an amazing job with this child.

Yes, I do understand that a lot of her principals she

was born with but I also know that you are nurturing

those qualities. Keep up the great job

and as I told TEdi-girl last night,

it makes me sad because with each passing day I

realize that her time with me will become far and few

between. She promised me she will alway make time

for me and especially BG as she looks up and adores her

so much.

The best medicine this Auntie Lil/nannie can get is time with

such a sweet teenager that I call my godchild.
