At one point I needed a Kleenex while she relayed her love for me. She went all the way back when I first met her at the tender age of 10 (9 years ago). She thanked me for always being so kind and good to her even when she was not so nice to me. With tears in her eyes she continued to thank me for being a part of her life and for always being there for her. I never really thought she would remember the past but she just brought it up for the first time today. She still remembers me telling her how special she was all those years ago. I\u2019m so thankful for our close bond and pray she will always know that I love and care for her. I have to say I feel I\u2019ve been given a prize and the rewards continue to come. I\u2019m so blessed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been quite the interesting day.
