Happy 16th Birthday, Tianna!

by Liz Heather in Family


Look, I know that I don't (normally) do whole birthday posts for people - so this'll be the one exception.

That lady above? That's my niece Tianna (with Baby Dog) and she's probably the sweetest, warmest, most together teenager on this planet. Look at this face. 

When she was a little kid I would tell her stories about how awful a teenager I was and she said to me once, "Mimi, if I turn out to be an awful teenager can I just apologize to you for that now? And can you remember that I used to be a good person?" That made me laugh so much, but it's honestly so telling of the kind of woman she is inside.

Tianna, I don't know if you're aware of how good you are to people, so let's not get into it too much here. But let the record show that you're immensely loved and I'm a huge fan.

I gave this book to my thirteen year old niece and if I ever give this book as a gift to someone again, I’ll say the exact same thing on the front page. THE LAST CHAPTER IS SO UNNECESSARY. And maybe this is rude/bold/ignorant/silly of me to encourage, but this is my blog, not yours. So back off. 

Why do I feel so strongly about this? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because,

“God, I wish you could have been there.”

is the greatest final line OF ALL TIME.
