Ashley

Next week my baby is going to graduate from the 8th grade...shes going to offically be a high schooler. It sucks!!!! Let me tell you watching your baby grow up is the hardest thing you will ever have to do, knowing they are getting closer to leaving the nest is devistating.

Ashley is my heart, shes my reason for living, for getting up in the morning, she makes me forget the pain when she makes me laugh. Everyday she seems to amaze me with her knowledge and her perspectives. Shes so smart and has such a big heart, she truely is a great kid.

Ashley has never been in trouble, shes never been in a fight, she is friends with everyone, she is just one of those rare kids who all the other parents tease me about lol, they all say they wish she was theres lol. I love her so much, I am just so happy to know what a great person she is and so sad to see my baby slowly pull away.

I have been so lucky in the fact she still wants to be with me lol, she still holds my hand and she still tells me all about her day.

The day I found out I was pregnant I was happy, I had a purpose in life, I had a reason to keep going...everyone gave me shit for being a teen mom, but this baby growing in me was already my whole world. I knew right off she was a girl, and I named her before I knew I was pregnant lol, I dreamed all about my little girl. She came into this world a fighter and I have been proud of her from day 1...she was laughing, walking, reading, writing before any child I knew. She could read full novels at 4, and comprehend them, she was writing shoort stories and fake newspapers for the family, ad she wasn't even in school yet.

She still writes non stop, and let me tell you, her stories are amazing...they make me laugh, cry and I can picture all the characters in my mind, shes that good...my baby has always had the ability to create amazing worlds.

I miss the little girls holding my hand as we crossed the street, the sweet smelling baby curled up on my chest as I rocked her to sleep, the funny 5 year old afraid of nothing, but I am so proud of the woman shes becoming, I am so proud of her...

I am not sure if I will write before her graduation, its just so hard for me right now, besides that physical therapy is kicking my ass...

Later my friends
