Recently, I've been reminded of something I haven't thought of for awhile....
Kids!
Now while I'm more then content knowing I'll never have any myself, I DO get reminded of how wonderful they are...
I grew up with friends who had older siblings who had kids, so when I started dating, I was used to my girlfriends' nieces and/or nephews around...
Fast forward to my first fiance when I was 20.
Beautiful little Italian girl named Toni who captured my heart.
And not only did Toni love me, but so did her 2 year old daughter Amber.
I was so happy, not only did I have ONE girl to love...
...but TWO!
And when the young one was asleep, me and mommy had "adult time"...
...at least till 2 AM.
We knew we had to finish up by then cuz Amber would wonder into bed with us by then...
Amber even made TWO Father's Day gifts..... though I made it clear I'm NOT her daddy...
What hurt when me and Toni broke up was the fact my heart broke x2..................
I remember leaving our apartment after I got the rest of my belongings, the door was closed, and I was at the bottom of the stairs when I heard a door SLAM against a wall, and Amber came running out yelling "JAIIIIIIII"........
Hell, my eyes are watering as I just wrote this.........
I meant to make this blog about other kids that have touched my heart, and try to get my real friends on here know me better....
But I think I've rambled too much...
I saw a quote in a blast the other day, don't remember it word-for-word but it went something like:
"We spend our lives teaching our children about life, when they're the ones teaching US about life"......
...
Like I said in my blog title....
DAMN KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
