Time Flies :(

My baby cousin graduated High school last night. I had to fight back tears as she walked across the stage. I know it is an overused phrase, but it seems as if it was just yesterday that she was born. I was only ten at the time, but I loved her instantly. It didn't bother me that I was not the only grandchild anymore. I didn't see her as often as I wish I would've, but I have many memories. She loved M&M's, and even though her Mom said not to let her have many...my dad gave them to her by the handfuls everytime her Mom left. Who could resist her little yet Huge smile, and that pretty red hair? My daddy couldn't for sure. I have struggled to keep the loss of my Dad from upseting me during this accomplishment in Haley's life, but he is always with me. I miss him more now than ever. I know that there will be many other moments in my life that my Dad will be absent. For example, when my brother graduates. Oh my gosh, It will be a tear fest for sure. I have to keep Daddy alive in memories, but man it's hard not to fall apart at the same time. I love my Daddy, and it took him leaving for me to realize just how much I was a Daddy's girl. Anyways, back to Haley..she's beautiful, huh? I hope she will always keep me as a part of her life. I can't wait to see what life has in store for her. I guess I should stop rambling on..I need to check on a couple eleven year old skateboarders, which by the way I love dearly :)
