(stole this image from facebook. pardon me.)
This is Theresa Ryan Lacadie,
But to me she is Teri-Ryan.
One name.
She is my mother's dearest friend.
& as I have grown up, she has become my friend too.
She was that friend that I would happily give up my day bed for when she visited.
She did my prom makeup & played with us when we were itty bitty.
Shes been in my life since I could walk.
My mom called to chat on tuesday. (like we do everyday.)
& she told me Teri-Ryan & Butch were getting a baby...
& on Friday!
THIS FRIDAY?!
this is what its about.
happiness, looking for good, seeing sunshine,
being happy for others, sharing joy.
Now she is running around getting diapers, onsies, bottles & blankets.
Im certain shes nervous as final papers are still unsigned... but not enough to deter her from preparing for this new little baby. Shes getting ready to be a mommy.
While Im sitting here crying...
Because if you knew Teri-Ryan you would know her heart in & out.
Because shes that type of person who gives it to you immediately.
so loving, with a contagious laugh that you can hear through the house.
She will be this little boys sweetest blessing.
She will be a wonderful Mommy!
shes waited a long time for this little boy!
Congratulations Teri-Ryan & Butch!
We just love you to pieces!
I was so excited to read about their new arrival on facebook! I didn't realize he would be coming home tomorrow! That's fantastic news!!! :-) I can't wait. And you're right, although I have only had the pleasure of meeting Teri-Ryan once, she really is such a wonderful person. And, yes, it is, and always will be, Teri-Ryan to us, too... Brad insists... haha.
ReplyDeletei don't know her, but i'm almost crying for her... how exciting!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news. And you are right again Jenni. I've met Teri a few times and she will make a wonderful mom!!
