Thankful for Miss Paige Cline

So the month of November I intended on sharing each and every day something I was thankful for.  Ends up life took its own course and I didnt get the opportunity to do it every day.  Which means I still have a bit more to share and thought this is just as good a month as November to be thankful. 

Sometimes in life there are certain people that just tip toe into your life and move their way into the deepest part of your heart and take up a residency there.  Its the type of "I am settling in and plan to be here for a long time residency"  The kind that you'd be absolutely lost without.  That is what my oldest son's love of his life, has done over the course of the past several years.  Miss Paige Cline has become a HUGE part of our family and I am so thankful for her. 

I am thankful for how REAL she is.  This is a huge requirement in any relationship as far as I am concerned.   I want to know the REAL you. the good the bad and the crazy.  :)  Paige is real, you know if she tells you something its coming from her heart and not something she is just saying to say.   She truly is one of the most loyal people I know and when she cares about someone, she cares about them with every ounce of her being.  I can truly say that I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is one young lady that I can ALWAYS count on to have my back and to help hold me up when life has made my knees a little weak.  Not only is Paige this person to me, but to our family.  

I am thankful for the role Paige has taken in my 2 youngest boys lives.  Paige has always made a huge effort to support them in all of their sporting events, choir, musicals, achievment ceremonies and any other areas that she could.  Although she has went to school and/or worked 2 jobs for as long as I have known her, she has ALWAYS made the effort to make sure to find out the boys schedules and be a constant 'cheerleader' in their lives.   Paige has been like an older sister to the boys and I am so thankful that they have had her to not only count on as a constant in their life, but she has also set a wonderful example to them of how a woman should treat not only the person she loves but also their family.

I am very thankful to know that my son Mark has such a remarkable young lady such as Paige to share his life with.  Of course I love my children and think they deserve nothing but the best and this is what he has gotten.  The qualities I desribed about Paige, being supportive, loyal and honest are all qualities that shine in her relationship with Mark.  She truly loves him and its so obvious that his happiness is of importance to her.  It brings my heart so much joy to know that Mark has someone who cares about him the way Paige does. 

I could go on and on about all the things I am thankful for about Paige. Anyone who knows me, knows I adore Paige. She has become like a daughter to me. I feel we have a very special relationship and that I can show her my good my bad and even my crazy and shes gonna love me in spite of it all. Not only does she own a huge part of my heart but she has also taken up a space in my husbands and I am thankful for the very special relationship they have as well. She cares about all of us and embraces us as her family and I am so very thankful that she is part of all of our lives. Not only is she part of this family but she has become a very special friend. Hugs and Love to you Miss Paige Cline, you are a true blessing to all of us.
