On April 3rd, my niece Athena and her honey Spencer came face to face with their destiny. After nine long months, Dakota Lynn Sticker was finally born. My “baby” niece is a mommy, and I have a goddaughter. That kid makes me deliriously happy. I just can’t explain it. I mean, look at me. . . well, ignore the fact that I left straight from work to drive an hour across Lake Ponchatrain and am wearing no makeup, am still in my work clothes, and look like a hot mess.
She’s perfect, she’s beautiful, she’s gorgeous, she’s smart, and yes, I am completely and utterly biased. But I’m supposed to be. I’m her godmother. It’s my job. Really, it is. I read the manual. Unfortunately, the magic wand must have gotten lost in the mail, so I have no superpowers like princess Aurora’s fairy godmothers had. Guess we’ll just have to make do.
