Dear Mr. Right,
I think that the thing that makes me the most sad about you not being here yet is that you didn't get to meet some really great people.
You won't understand that when people say things like "Hogan's goat" or "Sweet Petunia" they are quoting Mr. Franklin. And you won't know what my cousins and brother mean when we talk about Faye's weenies. Likewise, the phrase "Aunt Jean candies" means nothing to you. You won't get to hear this one laugh that could make a whole room crack up for no reason at all. You won't get to meet First Valentine who got me a passing grade in home ec, and blame him for my inability to be domestic. You'll be confused when I drop everything if Paul Harvey comes on the radio and enjoy watching MASH episodes even when I can quote them line by line. Those are thanks to Gran, by the way. And to you, pink cowboy boots are just pink cowboy boots. rather than what found me my best friends.
But hopefully, if I'm doing anything right, you'll see parts of these people in me.Beyond that, I guess you'll just have to learn as you go.
Waiting for that day,
Me

Okay way to make me cry on a sunny Thursday :) Great post Tiff! I am also so thankful that pink cowboy boots brought us all together! To my gossip girls I heart you all so much. And good luck to Mr. Right on trying to keep up with you when we are all together :)

Love that girl who wore pink cowboy boots. The "Gossip Girls" (I see her LOVING that description of us) friendship keeps a part of her here with us.
It is sad that Mr. Right won't meet those people on this earth, but he'll listen and learn about them all the same. He'll feel like he knows them from the stories. And he'll love them for the influence that they've had on you - because he loves you.
