Since you’re all getting the GREAT pleasure of seeing me be incredibly cheesy about Quinn all day, here’s a little something dedicated to my other favorite girl. While I’m not the reason for her existence, the moment she entered my life, she became a very big reason for mine. I always wanted kids, and I’ve always tried to treat her as if she were one of my own. Without her, I’m not sure when Quinn and I would have inevitably found our way back together. We would’ve, obviously, as soulmates do, but maybe not so soon, and so I have her to thank for that. Visiting during my college years is what kept me from giving up and dropping out countless times, and there’s been nothing more exciting or slightly terrifying than being able to watch her grow up, and knowing she still has a long way to go that I get to be there to for. While I’m actually getting a more official title in her life today, I don’t think it’ll change anything at all. I’ll love her all the same, and I always will, unconditionally. I’ve been given the chance to be in her life alongside the two very amazing parents that she already has, and there’s really never been a gift greater to me than that alone. More than that, I’ve always had a place. That place mainly being the one who encourages her to manipulate her way into getting sweets before bedtime. Surely I’ll have plenty more fantastic and extremely useful lessons to teach her in the many years to come, and I can’t wait for it. I love you, little Lottie.
