these 2 little girls are my treasure. i’ve watched them grow up from little rascal babies to fine young adults. the ups, the downs, the happiness, and the sadness. i’ve been there the whole way just enjoying the process of them growing up. i never got mad at them, and i always made sure they both knew that i was always on their side. through the good times and the bad, they knew i wasn’t going anywhere. of course, it wasn’t easy. they made many mistakes in life, but i always told them that mistakes will only make you stronger. and stronger they are. the bond they have with each other is unbreakable. 
so spending some Christmas holiday time with these 2 lovely young ladies was fun. talking, laughing, and remembering the obstacles in life. i know they will make more mistakes on their path to their dreams, and i’ll still be watching from the side. i’m super proud of you girls. love you Marissa and Mia! 
a glass of Blue Label and some chocolate for dessert. hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
