Hi, this isn't Gracie.

In fact, this is her friend Kristin.  Many of you may or may not know Gracie...she is one of my closest friends.  She has seen me grow up into the person that i am today, from the 17 year old i was when she met me.  Soon, i won't be able to see her and her amazing family as often as i would like, and i will miss it more than she knows.  She is not only an amazing friend, but also an awesome mother, despite what she may think sometimes.  She has given me words of wisdom and countless advice over the years.  She will never truly know the amount of love that i have for her and her family.  It makes me sad to think that i won't be able to be there to watch her girls grow up more than i have seen or to watch her handle the teenage years for them...but, i love her all the same.  I had an amazing quote that i meant to put here, but i couldn't find it through google....just as long as Gracie knows that i love her and her family, that's all that matters.
