I don't know if there is anything that can make you happier than seeing your child happy or worse than seeing your child sad. As a parent, that roller coaster is one that I have wanted MANY times to get off of.
We remember how harsh the adolescent years are! I can remember being teased about how big my nose was to the point where I would lay my head down on my desk in junior high because I thought, "if no one sees it, maybe they won't make fun of it." Brutal!
My child has experienced her fair share of that junk. And at the same time, experienced the love and friendship of so many amazing people. See Kayley is one of the most fun-loving and joyful people that I have ever met. She oozes fun and laughter.
I have prayed for so many years for her teen years. That God would surround her with good friendships. People that loved her for who she was and didn't try to change her. Just allowed her to be herself....silliness and all! And God in His awesome faithfulness did that.
Kayley has some of the most amazing friendships. These girls are not only loving and compassionate but they are real and honest. It's not always perfect. And who knows what the future holds. Friendships change and people come in and out of our lives. But for such a time as this, God knew exactly what Kayley needed and who she needed in her life. And I thank God for these precious girls.
