Day 14: I am so very thankful to have The Messers in my life. Pattie Jo and Bill are my Parents Best Friends, and I don't seem to have any memories without them. They were in my life from the time I came home from the hospital. They were always the first call when my Mom cracked me over the head with a hoe, or when I twirled into the couch and required stitches. They are great role models, they have been married for eons, have raised four wonderful boys who for better or worse were like big brothers to me, I am sure they were thrilled to have a little bratty "sister" to babysit for, or to tag along on one of their dates, actually I am pretty sure that's why I got rocked with wiffle balls every chance they got...payback.
In all seriousness, I can't even find the words to express how grateful I am to have had the Messer Family in my life, I continue to cherish them from afar and think of them often. I wish that we could spend Holidays together again like we did for the first 21 years of my life. I loved heading down to the Messers house around 5 or 6pm on Thanksgiving Night for Round 2 of Thanksgiving Dinner, I looked forward to it every year, the stuffing, the homemade rolls, the blueberry goodness...aww my mouth is watering. One of my favorite things to do when I go home, even now at 31 years old (not almost 33 like my husband) is to stop at the Messer's, make myself some iced tea and just sit down and chat. It is my safe place and likely always will be. I used to run away from home...(I thought I was so sneaky) and run to their house. They would let me stay...they told me I had to call my parents after I had a drink and a snack...but the older I got, I realized that Pat would sneak into the back bedroom and call my Parents...my Parents would let me calm down and a little while later my Dad would show up to collect me...and to think I thought I was so smart. I don't have many memories without them, and I only wish that we lived closer...
