My No Good Daughter!!!

Hah! That title got your attention I bet. :)

Sammi (Samantha) is my daughter. In my heart she's always gonna be that little girl in the pink diaper with the XMas bow stuck on the back end of them. In reality, she's almost 19 years old now.


Sammi and I in summer of 2002.

Isn't she beautiful? She lives a couple states away from me these days and I miss her so. At least we have IM and can talk online almost every day. Just got done talking to her a short time ago in fact.

Sammi is a sweet girl who would *never* think of picking on anyone. OK, so she was my biggest baby size wise and to this day she hasn't let her 2 brothers forget that. Sooo, she's come into IRC a few times when there were net friends of mine in the channel who didn't know her and greeted me with 'whore' to which I replied 'slut'. Then there was the day she decided she was gonna 'beat up' her step dad .. which ended up with her on her belly, on the living room floor, handcuffed behind her back. You gotta love her, the girl has spunk! (Not to mention my warped sense of humor. LOL.)

I remember when she turned 13. That's when I informed her that I no longer knew anything because she was now a teenager, so she was on her own for decisions. Heh, it worked. She and I have always had an open line of communication and she knows she can talk to me about anything. Does some of it hurt? Sure it does, that's normal and happens to all parents. I'd rather talk over with her whatever she wants to discuss than not hear it though. I want the best for her and for that to happen, she and I need to be able to talk about any and all subjects. I learned long ago it's better to act than react and that applies double when dealing with kids.

I love this young lady more than words can say and I pray she knows that. When I learned from the sonogram I was going to have a daughter, I admit I was scared. I had grown up with all boys and have always related to guys better than girls. Then she was born and she took my breath away. All the fear was gone that quickly and she and I are like two peas in a pod almost all of the time.

I love you Sammi!
