This beautiful young woman turned 18 today. What a lucky mom I am!! I have been so lucky to have her in my life. During hard times she has been there to hug me and tell me it would be ok. I have very much enjoyed getting to know her! I have done my best to teach her the most important things in life. I can see so much potential in her life. She can do or be anything that she wants! She is so smart and so many people love her. I am so proud to call her my Nicole!! I hope with all my heart that she is able to make good decisions throughout her life in order to do all she dreams. I could go on all night. What I really want to say though is I love you Nicole and will always be here to do just that, love you!!
Today I also visited this beautiful woman. This is my Aunt Norma. She is currently living in a nursing home because she has dementia and she forgets most everything short term. My kids like to go see her because she is so "funny" when she asks them over and over their name, age, and any other question she may have on her mind that day. It makes me so sad. In my life she has been one of the only people that loved me unconditionally. She never expected me to be one thing or another and always loved and supported me no matter what. I love her so dearly and it makes me sad to know that one day she will no longer remember me either. Until then I will visit her as often as I can and know that somewhere in that mind of hers, she loves me.
