BLOG DAY # 99 in a day of my life. When a little girl starts to grow up-where does the time go!

     It seems like it wasn't all that long ago. Time has a way of sneaking by when you lose track of it.I guess that we wish for things to hurry up and get here, then it is gone, and you wonder , where did it go? That is what our little twin Taylor says.

WHERE DID IT GO? HOW COULD IT HAVE JUST PASSED BY AND NOW YOU SEE THE ONE YOU LOVE SO MUCH, COMING OF AGE SO TO SPEAK. THE LITTLE GIRL SNEAKING ALONG THE WALL AS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PLAY CHARADES IN THE BASEMENT OF THEIR FIRST HOUSE HERE IN LORTON. LOOKING AT YOU AS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE. SHE IS TRYING TO GET TO THE TV SET AS CARTOONS OR SOMETHING WAS ON. SHE IS SMILING THAT LITTLE SMILE AT YOU.

THEN THERE WAS THE TIME I PICKED HER UP AT THE BABY SITTERS, AND SHE STARTED CRYING. I PULLED OVER ON FAIRFAX COUNTY PARKWAY, AND SHE HAD TAKEN THE HAIR TIE OUT AND TWISTED IT AROUND HER LITTLE FINGER. SHE WAS SOBBING AS HER FINGER HAD TURNED ALMOST BLUE. HER LITTLE SOBS AND HER NOSE RUNNING. WHERE DID THE TIME GO?


  Here she is today. One step closer to

                                                                                                       high school and then college.


WHERE DID IT GO? THE LITTLE ONE WHO WAS DANCING AROUND, BOUNCING HER BALL- HER MOTHER PREGNANT- AND WE WERE THERE TO PICK HER UP- AND SHE LOOKED AT US AND BACK TO HER MOM AND STARTED TO CRY, AS IF SHE NEW THIS WAS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT- THAT A CHANGE WAS COMING!

AND HER MOTHER STARTED CRYING AND SAYING THINGS WERE CHANGING!

WHERE DID IT GO?

   NOW THERE ARE THREE.

WHERE DID IT GO?

BUT THIS IS A TIME OF CELEBRATION- FOR YOU SEE SHE IS GROWING- GROWING INTO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY. SHE HAD TO MAKE A SPEECH YOU SEE- BECAUSE SHE IS PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL- SHE WON MANY AWARDS- SHE IS A STRAIGHT A STUDENT-HONOR ROLL-EXCEPTIONALLY ATHLETIC- SECOND TO ONLY ONE BOY IN ALL THE SCHOOL. SHE IS TRYING OUT FOR THE TRAVELING SOCCOR TEAM. OH-BY THE WAY- HER VOICE-IT IS OF AN ANGEL. SHE SINGS SO BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT MUSIC TO BE IN THE BACK GROUND.



SHE IS OUR MADDY- SHE IS WHAT WE ALL LIVE FOR- SHE IS BEAUTIFUL- SHE IS CARING - SHE BEAMS LIGHT WHEN SHE SMILES-TODAY- GOING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL- SOON IT WILL BE COLLEGE-BUT ONE THING TIME DOES NOT CHANGE- IS OUR PRECEPTION OF HER. SHE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE OUR LITTLE MADISON. GO FORTH MADDY AND KNOW WE LOVE YOU-WE ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU.

TIME WILL NEVER CHANGE THAT- YOU ARE OUR LITTLE LADY WAITING TO GROW UP.

TO ALL OUT THERE, WE ARE BLESSED- WE ARE FORTUNATE- WE HAVE MADDY!


GO IN PEACE AND THANKS BE TO GOD.  HAVE A GREAT DAY!
