Ah, So Soon

So soon, so soon.
A lot of things are "so soon". Here are a few:

Jordan and Maggie are leaving for good on Saturday. (6 days). Except I dont have 6 days to hang out with them. I have one. They go to Disney tomorrow (i think...) and return on Thursday evening. And I have school of course on Friday and they have plans on Friday night. Sad but true. So I will be there on Saturday to wave them off. Now that will be 10 times as sad as today was. Today there was a Summit Staff & Family party for Jordan and Maggie. I cried like a babyyyyyyyy. Wow. I am going to miss them so much you guys reading this have no idea. Sophie is so cute right now and she is getting so old...But the thing is I am WATCHING her grow old. Not for long. She will be gone in a heartbeat and I will see her at Christmas and she'll be old. Ah. It makes me sad. And Jack? Oy. He is growing bigger (and wider!) by the second. And he is such an encourager. Ay ay ay. Jonas is sooo cute. He's at such a sweet time in life...Although sometimes mischevious, he's a cutie. I love watching him. I tend to sit and chuckle. He's a funny one, that Jonas. Owen. Oh sweet Owen. He and I share birthdays. Isnt that fun? So he will always be my boy. I'm sad that he can't talk yet and that he can't understand me because I talk to him about us being best friends and birthday pals forever. But he fails to understand me. Its kind of upsetting. I wish I could be able to call him on our birthday to wish him well, but he wouldnt know who it was and he wouldnt understand. So thats kissed goodbye. He's going to be one on September 21st. Although we are 13 years apart, I still feel the special bond. And I cannot even write about Jordan and Maggie or I will surely cry. Maybe another time. But certainly not now. All of this to say, Jordan, Maggie, Sophie, Jack, Jonas and Owen: I will miss this clan of Stinziano's. Sweet, sweet cousins of mine.
Please pray for them. Moving with Maggie's cancer is going to be a struggle since she is weak. I pray that they can hire a nanny and that the kids will love this nanny. Prayer is key. Keep it up.



On a happier note, my friend Laura is getting married to my other friend Slim. They will wed on September 15th. I am in this wedding. I am a bridesmaid! Its so exciting. I am counting down the days, as are Laura and Slim.

As mentioned earlier, it is my birthday on the 21st of September. WOOT! I will be fourteen and I am thrilled! Whatcha gonna get me?
Just kidding. Don't get me SQUAT! I want nothing but a happy birthday from those reading this.

kaybye.

Tessa,

I love you. I have been crying all day, too. I am so proud of them, but sad for us, who will miss them. Full on tears are coming out of my eyes, still.

I am counting the days to my wedding, but yes, the kids will tell Owen how much he is loved by you, and you will always share that bond and love.

I am proud of you, too for being strong. I love you
