A Dagger Through the Heart

Now, when you read the title of this blog you may be thinking that it is going to be negative, but it's actually the complete opposite. "Dagger" in this case is actually a person not a weapon, not just any person...the best person!  Dagger is my best friend, future sister-in-law, AND the mother of my 2 nieces & 3 nephews...now you may think that is A LOT of children, but don't be fooled; 1 niece and 1 nephew are dogs, 1 niece and nephew are bunnies, and 1 nephew is a turtle. WEIRD I know, but this animals are her children and she loves them I think more than most people love their kids. Anywho, I wanted to take a whole day of writing and spend it on Dags, because she deserves it.

I will never forget when my brother moved to the big city of St. Louis to live with my cousin and met the neighbor, Garrett (brother) and I were talking one day not too long after he moved and told me about the neighbor, Dagger, whom Garrett was quite smitten with.  Garrett told me he was in love with her, but she was taken.  So he just dreamed and stared from afar.  Well as fate would have it her and her boyfriend would end up breaking up and Garrett slid right in.  That was over 5 years ago. Last year when I decided to go to St Louis Christian College her and Garrett let me move in. They cleaned out the basement and that become my room.  I didn't have to pay any rent or buy any groceries. I miss living there so much! We had so much fun and got even closer. 

Dagger is the oddest person I have EVER met, but odd is a good thing.  She will walk alone if it means walking right.  She does her own thing and couldn't care less what people think.  She is a 80 year old lady trapped in a 28 year old's body. She hates wearing jeans and I don't think I have EVER seen her in a pair of them before.  She always thinks of other first, and cried when Marshall and Lilly broke up (How I Met Your Mother.) She has terrible taste in TV shows, and made Garrett and I watch them all then time.  She makes the best food and is the HALLOWEEN queen.  She becomes best friends with people just by looking at them.  She loves shooting guns! Everything she wears is sparkly and wears more rings than ANYONE.  

She is the best and I can't imagine living without her.

I love you DAGS!
