Ahhh 14.
The year of shopping, make-up, hair and boys. (and me growing more grey hairs.)

I think I waited forever for Teeny.

Lex met her first. He had to go in for a meeting with the school one morning with The Kid, and Teeny was waiting at the school gates for him. Furiously berating him for getting into trouble again.
Lex called me the minute he got in the car and said "Babe, wait till you meet her. She's amazing. You're going to fall in love with her instantly."
And it's true. I did.
Her long blonde hair, summer tan and green eyes, she could have been mine.
I used to promise her that everything would be okay, one day. And then one day it was.
Our gotcha day was different to LM's and even The Kid's.
It was quick, unplanned and so stressful, but that night when I went into her bedroom to say goodnight, she put her arms around me and said: "I always knew I was meant to be here with you guys."

I think so too.
