THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE




I should probably ask for her forgiveness now.

Betty,

Please forgive me for making you a hippie, gypsy, freebird, flower child.

Love,
Mom

CMB + MBD= LOVE

Dear CMB,

Where do I start? Can Mattie please keep her maiden name? Just kidding.

So you've been dating my sister for years now and I must say I didn't REEEEEALLY know you. In fact, I barely knew you at all. But gosh dang, Cody Mac, the more you come around and the more I get to know you, the better I like you. I'm not saying I didn't like you in the beginning. I just DIDN'T KNOW YOU.

Your 'SOMEDAAAAAAAAY LOVE WILL FIND YOU' fist pumping and head banging this past weekend totally cracked me up and I saw a silly comfortable side I had not been privy to before. You're funny and kind and you look at my sister with love and affection. I like you and I hope you become part of our family soon. I feel like you already are in some aspects. You like us (or act like it which counts) for who we are and forgive our faults and crazy ask ways. I find you quite hilarious and totally appreciate how you handle Mattie. She's my baby sister and she needs a pillar sometimes. You're great at that. Anywho, not to go on and on, I'm just glad you are in her life and you two are happy together.

But remember, I'm watching you focker. Circle of Trust.

MY BETTY

I cannot get over it. I cannot shake it. I cannot remember ever feeling so loved. I will never forget it. She crawled into my bed, put her dimpled hand in mine and patted me until we fell asleep. I will never love anything more. I am hers but she is not mine.

The challenges, the hardship, the frustration is erased by these tiny moments. Your heart flutters and you know "the very best you can" is enough. You feel redemption for your mistakes and know the love you share has reached her heart.

I'm not real sure how this ish happens to me but cheers to the next great adventure:

From my friend:
Ok I have booked another flight, we are set to stay through Monday. I spoke with Tommy he and his wife have taken off the end of the week to island hop with us. So he booked our rooms at Infinity although we will be spending a day or two island hopping to two in Gauanja and Utillia, Cayos & Cochinos islands on their boat.



In short we are good to go, Wendy is working our flights from SAP to Roatan and the return flight, should be done tomorrow. The island awaits us! Tommy has a personal driver in SAP that will escort us from the airport to the hotel when arriving late.



I will rent a jeep Friday – Monday, we can take water taxis from the bars.



Sorry this is short, I just wanted ya’ll to know we are good to go! I’ll send some more details soon.
