Sometimes...just sometimes...something happens that shows people that you sometimes...just sometimes...know what you are talking about...

So Erica breaks up with the bf she has had for almost 11 months and has known forever. He is crushed and confused, and because I love him like a son it hurts me also.

Things were really awkward at first but now they are best of friends.

Then, just a week later, she starts going out with a new boy. She is totally hooked and into him, which is strange to me because I have never seen her this way. He is real sweet and smart. So she is very happy and that makes me very happy, but...................

Katelyn is not happy. She wants to be special to someone too. I tell her that you never find that special someone when you are looking for them...it happens when you least expect it, and then when it does happens then you will have more than one person's interest. She doesnt believe me.

Then...............

I hate to say this because I can just imagine what will go thru the person's mind when they read this.

We go to a family reunion and one of the cousins brings one of his really good friends. He plays his guitar and sings. He is into music and band and a football player....and most of all, he is committed to Church and God. They hit it off right away. They exchange numbers, and less than 2 hours after we arrive home he is calling her.

They have talked every day and sometimes more than once in each day since.

So I can't resist....I have to say I told you so to her...this time she doesnt mind...she just smiles....and says she doesnt understand it, but she is glad I am right this time....at this point I wanna pass out because she has not only admitted that I was right about something, but she is glad I am right.

I explain to her that when we are unhappy on the inside people will pick up on it and want to stay clear of you for their own self preservation, but when you are happy people are drawn to you and want to be around you to share in the happiness.

So see....sometimes...just sometimes...I do know what I am talking about.


Side note: He is 16 and lives in Camden, but that has not stopped him from calling her everyday and talking for 30 minutes or more at a time. He is coming from Camden Saturday to pick her up and then drive back to Columbia for the State Fair.

At the same time the 2 boys she has been semi interested in at school have now, all of a sudden, started paying attention to her......my words proven true again :)
