Well, here I am again. I can see how this can become addictive. I have just realized that this is the year of the big 3 - 0 for my special niece that I have been missing so much. Maybe this is why a wave of missing her and not being able to get her out of my mind, has come over me. It is unbelievable to me that this is even possible. To a precious 5 lb. bundle of joy named April Michelle Brock, you have always brought much joy and happiness into my life. I remember when your mom finally decided it was ok to leave you for once. You were about 2 weeks old and I had the honor of staying with you. Of course, this was the time your belly button decided to "fall off". I will never forget it. I saw almost all of your "firsts" April. I was present for every play, ballgame, honors programs, etc., that you experienced in your life. My favorite memories are of you and Ashley coming over to play with my kids. You would play school, church, etc. Maybe this is why I have Victoria entering pharmacy school in the fall and Joshua got accepted to the University of Tennessee, School of Architecture, just this week. He is also going to the the valedictorian of his class on May 23, 2009. Abbey excels also, not just in class but in sports as well. I am truly blessed. I believe that April had something to do with their "brains" in the early years. Thanks April. I love you.
xoxo Alisa

Ok, tearing up! So many memories flood my brain as I read this. It was such a special time in my life to get to be a huge part of childhood for Abbey, Tori & Josh - and I'm so proud of the awesome people they are today!
ReplyDeleteThanks for always being there for me in just the right capacity - you were such a cool aunt, and even more importantly, you've always been a trusted friend.
Love you!!!!
