Sad

Today I set here listenign to the ads for Russian Nutcracker Ballet. I always took Sher and in later years, Sher and M.
Last year I took M shopping for her new dress for the show. We went to several stores then on to my favorite. TJ Maxx. M found several she liked, One I picked up she said "No I dont like that one'. so when time came to try on I asked if she would jsut try it on. She said "ure Mamaw but I really dont like it" When we got to the dressing room, she tried all her choices on and none looked quite right. Then came mine, It was a black Moire satin with drop shoulders, and one strap to cover the shoulders, It was princess cut with a built in crenoline. She put it on and said "Wow this is beautiful, I feel like a princess". We then bought a purse and Her mom bought her a tiara. She did look like a princess that night.
We then went out to dinner before the show, the restaurant was full, "Olive Garden" One little boy, who I am sure will grow up to be a casanova, came over to us and looked M up and down, then said " Nice purse and really Nice crown". Never had I seen such an outgoing little man. I am equally sure he was her age but definitely not her size, he was at least 8 inches shorter, but that didnt stop him, he knew how to use charm and that is what matters.
While we were eating I could not help but laugh, M was looking like a princess but acting like a 7 year old, Sher asked me why I was laughing and I said, It is pay back fot the times I wanted you to act like a proper little lady but instead you made faces and giggled. So little girls are and will always be just that Little girls.
Kiara, get yourself prepared Mamaw and Mommy and you will go see the nutcracker someday.
. At this time I have no one to take. Our first time was the year Sheri turned 13 years old. That was her birthday present, I took her and a few of her friends.
One year we took Mashelle as a surprise, but I think the surprise was on us, We had told her we were going shopping, instead we went to the Nutcracker, She wanted to go shopping, She kept saying "You mean we dont get to go shopping". I really wanted to do something neat for her, she had never been to the nutcracker.
Sheri and I planned that for weeks, We got all dressed up, we told her she had to really dress up as this was girls night out.
So now the Russian troup is here again and I miss my daughter even more than ever. Funny how little things make the heart weep.
Have a great week kids and girls think of me and the nutcracker, I may take Nancy as Dad is not really interested and Nancy has never been, Imagine that. Never going to the nutcracker.
