And although his mother and I are not technically sisters, she and I are connected spiritually and have been for nearly 20 years. I love my Katie with all I have and it is so wonderful to share in her joy! Cole is a blessed little boy to have Katie as his mother. She is one of the kindest and most gentle souls I have ever known. It comes natural for her...she is so much like her own mother.
So, in all of this happiness I have for my Katie, Jamie and Gavin...I'm a little selfish for myself. I've never liked that we live so far apart and days like today make Daytona Beach seem like it is on the other side of the world. Katie and I talk every day...sometimes for a ridiculous length of time and sometimes it is even three or four times in one day. But, that can never replace these moments. I wish I could have been there.
With that, tomorrow comes and I am so blessed to know that I will get to watch this new person grow into the wonderful human being he is destined to be. Even of it is from afar. As long as we are in Tennessee, this baby has a fan here. :)
Congratulations Katie, Jamie and Gavin! We love you!
Here's some pics the new Mommy sent me via text. He's beautiful!:
