| My cousin QUALIFIED for this. |
When Gorgeous was born she stole a piece of my heart. Her huge big blue eyes, perfect features and just all around adorable. Gorgeous always aimed to please and to be the best at whatever she did. Recently I found a letter that she had written to me while I was in hotel training school and I really should scan it and share with you all. It personifies her perfection and love.
I moved to the States the same time my cousins did and for many years lost contact, but through social media we have once again found each other and I am in awe of my cousin.
She is a Mom to the most adorable little munchkins. They are so polite, kind, loving and very rarely do I witness any sass. The only time I do see Adorabalicious ping off the wall is when Grandpa has snuck him a candy.
Gorgeous is a pharmacist so she is wicked smaht (pronounced in a Bostonian accent) and having a pharmacist in the family when you're feeling crappy and don't know what to take is a major bonus.
In between being a Mom, wife, daughter, cousin and pharmacist, Gorgeous also has time to run friggin marathons. She is up at the break of dawn running while most of us are still drooling in our pillows. She qualified again for the Boston Marathon next year. Someone asked her, upon hearing she runs the Boston, what charity she runs for. I bitched slapped them on her behalf.
My cousin is one of my biggest cheerleaders and supporters. She encourages me daily, motivates me, sends me texts that make me smile and loves to give hugs. She is helping me train for my very first 5K. It will be a while, but I will get there because of her amazing support.
I count Gorgeous amongst my greatest blessings and this past year could not have made the steps I have without her love and support. She makes me feel I can climb the highest mountain (but not without a lot of bitching), conquer my demons and soar to great heights.
Now if only I could get her to wear the required Nubian cheerleading outfit would she be 100% perfect.

Nice. I think I often we do not take time to reach out and express how we feel about people who are admirable.
ReplyDeleteWell, she sure is appropriately "named." But I really, really want to see the Nubian cheerleading outfit!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. It's good to have someone who motivates and inspires you. Speaking of cheerleader outfits maybe you should send Mrs. C one too. I'll be sure she wears it and even take photos as proof.
ReplyDeleteActually, the photos will be for me. Her dressed up as a cheerleader will be just what I need to get me through the long, boring workday.
