A Tribute to Tammy

...who has become a member of our family,
who has sterilized countless bottles,
played lost cat as many times as JieJie asked,
carried snacks and band-aids and workbooks and colored pencils and the best wet wipes in her magic backpack,
has become a master of nonverbal negotiation,
changed poopy diapers,
lugged jugs of water,
spent hours in the playroom,
agreed to be the monster, to the delight of little girls,
administered hugs and kisses,
lent a sympathetic ear to all,
missed out on the night life to take part in family life.
now, if only she will go get the $6 massage!
She deserves some luxury and time to herself and our enduring gratitude for joining us.
Tammy, you're the best.
