Before school started in 7th grade, I went to a new school in a new town to tour my classrooms and meet the teachers. I was scared and felt very, very small. I saw a girl that day with blonde hair, glasses, and the same kind of white sneakers I liked to wear. I told myself that day that I wished I could make her my friend. Ten years later, she's one of my best friends and my favorite people of all time. We don't get to see each other much, and I hate that, but I think she knows I love her all the same. Before I left for Montana, she gave me an all "eco-friendly" going away gift that included a big bag of wild flower seeds that if planted, would attract butterflies. I haven't seen any butterflies, but the seeds have been planted and I'm reaping the benefits of their beauty. Callie's getting married next month, and because of school I can't be in her wedding. I'm very upset about this, but I wanted her to know that I think of her every day, when I look at these flowers.
I love you Callie!
Hailey, you have such an amazing talent. I talked to your mom the other day, she was altering Callie's wedding dress. She showed me your beautiful final project and I was awestruck. You definetly have found your niche!
ReplyDeleteI just wish you could be at the wedding but following your dreams is what you should be doing and I'm so happy for you. Thanks for the sweet words about Callie.
