Sarah Grace…

Sarah Grace Kelly … Such a fitting name for her. Sarah means Princess, so she would be Princess Grace Kelly. Sound Familiar? She was actually named after a Hall and Oates song – “Sarah Smile”. And her Great Grandmothers name was “Grace”. (Sarah was my grandmothers name as well ; )
Sarah was born October 15, 1988 to Nat and Kelly. Yes, her mom’s name was Kelly Kelly. Cute huh? Sarah has a little sister, Audrey, who tells everyone i’m her stepmom too.
When I met Sarah, she was 6 years old and adorable!! She always had on a cute little skirt and tights and had her hair pulled up like Pebbles. I remember the first time she, Nat and I went out to eat together. She sat across the table from us and was trying her best to say something. Nat kept saying “hold on” and we kept talking. A few moments later, she disappeared under the table and all we saw were 2 hand puppets. She was saying “Their once was a boy named Nat and a girl named Tonya. And they talked, and talked, and talked…..” It was hilarious.
Well, she was in Kindergarten then. Now she is a Junior in College!! We have been through a lot together in those 13 years. Most of my best memories include Sarah Grace. We’ve been on some crazy road trips. I’ve chaperoned a few John Mayer concerts and birthday parties at Hard Rock Cafe. I got to be a “cheer mom” when she was in middle school. I’ve been her chauffeur and she has been my confidant.
I honestly don’t know what i’d do without Sarah. She makes me want to be a better person. She’s great!! I’m so glad God put her in my life!!
If…….no, WHEN she moves to England, I guess i’ll have to go with her!
