Meet You in St. Louis

I can not believe that this year has passed so very quickly. Thinking back, I remember all my family members telling me how fast time passes as you age, and I had no clue. Grey has grown into a miniature man already with all of his walking and talking. Big and I are unofficially living together and are extremely happy with our little "family". Tucker is the center of our universe and that is just how we like it. At this point we think he is about 112lbs and he is under the impression that he is a lap dog. Too funny, right?

With a new year comes new beginnings for me. Kyla, my person, is moving to St. Louis for a new job and a new life. I am completely excited for her taking a huge leap and getting to renew life as she knows it, but I can't help but feel selfish in wanting to keep her here. She will be getting a great job that will relieve her of the many stresses she has in her life, and for that I am grateful. But for the life of me I have no clue how to exist without seeing her face ever day or laughing with her constantly. I know that she isn't moving to Tibet or anything, but I just loved having heart to hearts with her face to face. She and I just understand each other on a molecular level. We catch each other finishing sentences or correcting mistakes because we know what the other one really meant. She is and always will be a special sister to me. Just as much family as my own Bug is to me. I will miss her every single day. However hard this may be, I have to keep smiling and keep my chin up because she is struggling with the loss of Tennessee as it is. She has assured me on multiple occasions that we will talk constantly and I really do hope so because I don't think I can stomach the loss of another friend. I bet you guys out there don't know that this isn't the first but the second job we've had together and it has been amazing and an ultimate pleasure working with such a close friend. I know that she will do excellent no matter where she travels and she will wow whom ever she meets. I just hope I can quickly learn to cope without her in my day to day life. I also hope she misses me just as much as I will yearn for her. I am sure that she will.
So Kyla, this blog is for you my deary. You sent me the other day saying that you relationships never work. It has stuck with me every since. They do work because it has worked with me. We will just be the loves of each others lives forever. I love you baby girl.

Until next time, does anybody have a tissue? Because I will need them.
