Fabulous Kennedy

The following is a TRUE story. Not one bit of it is pretend. It’s not make believe but it is a beautiful tale. Some may even call it a Fairy Tale. Not because it didn’t happen, because it most certainly did, but because it is about a remarkable, glorious, fascinating child that leaves a trail of sunshine and sparkles everywhere she goes. Her beauty cannot be matched because it comes from the deepest part of her heart. It shows itself in every little thing she does. Her kind words, her generous spirit, her love for others, her passion for life, and her heart for God are contagious. They spill onto every person fortunate enough to cross her path. She is very special indeed and this is her story, her true story...

Exactly 10 years ago, to this very day, a mommy and a daddy were at a hospital waiting for their baby to arrive. They had been there for hours and they were both exhausted. All they wanted to do was see their little girl and hold her in their arms. The anticipation was too much! Fireworks and Starbursts were going off in their chests! Finally, after 14 hours of labor, it was time. The moment everyone had been waiting for... the arrival of a princess. As soon as they saw her they fell head over heels. She was the most beautiful child anyone had ever seen. Mommy, Daddy, Ama, Aunt Angie and Aunt Rodlyn were admiring her when suddenly Ama shouted, “I’ve got it! I’ve got it! I’ve got the perfect name!” “What is it?”, they asked. “Baby Ruth!” she said with what looked like tears of Almond Joy in her eyes. After a long awkward pause that seemed to drag on for years, someone broke the silence with Snickers and cheers. This babies name had been chosen long before, it was a name that was perfect for the little SweeTart, Kennedy Shayne had stolen their hearts. That very same day while in her mommy’s arms, she purred like a Kit Kat playing with yarn. A baby that purrs is funny indeed. Laffy Taffy your head off... somebody please!

As sweet as she was 10 years ago today, that Kennedy girl grew more precious each day. Her beauty inside matched her beauty without. She had billions of Layers worth talking about. She was kind, smart, funny, and sweet. Her very favorite thing was getting a treat! She would give away toys without thinking twice, this was a girl who redefined “nice”.

Our Fairy Tale started just 10 years ago. A beautiful daughter, they watched gracefully grow. It’s gone Extra fast for her mom and her dad, in a blink of an eye they’ll be attending her grad. Then soon after that her Prince will arrive, pull out a Ring and make her his wife. He’ll have to be special to win that girls hand. He’ll have to love Jesus and be a real man. He’ll have to respect her and win over her mom. If he can do that, then that boy is the bomb! Then several years later, they’ll have kids of their own. A beautiful daughter that could be her clone! They’ll hold her, and change her, and give her a Bottle. They’ll laugh when her walk looks more like a waddle.

But for now let’s remember that she’s still only 10. A beautiful child with a beautiful grin. Full of sweets from so many treats, after reading this story she must brush her teeth. I’m really not joking, I hate to rush, but for your final prize I got you a Tooth Brush.

That’s the end of our story... or at least so far...

Happy Birthday to Kennedy, my shining star!
