Hey do you remember in high school, or even as a little kid, that there was that one person who you wanted to be just like? Oh my goodness. I remember Melanie, my babysitter. Wow. She was so pretty. I wanted to be just like her. I wore my hair like her, although she was a blondie, I wore lip stuff like her, although she was a teenager and I was just a kid... Then in high school, oh man I loved to listen to great singers like Whitney Houston, Reba McEntire, Christina. And, of course, I wanted to be just like them too. They were always so cool and pretty, just like my previous babysitter, and they also had these rockin' voices.
And now, as an adult, I think back to other people, instead, who stick out in my mind now, and even then. But as a kid, you always go for the "cool" one, or the "stylish" one, or the "witty" one. But even then, as I looked up to these fab girls, I distinctly remember Mrs. May. She was so incredibly... there are no words to describe her. Every time I've tried to, no words come. That's pretty amazing, right? That someone, whom I can't even describe, is someone whom I really look up to, even to this day?!
She wasn't like Whitney or Reba, walking around in these really awesome outfits. She wasn't blowing me away with this God-given voice. She didn't have that cool hairdo that Melanie had. But when you were around her, she emitted this Godly-Glow. That's the only way I can describe it. She always had a smile, even if she wasn't. God was always coming through her. Always.
I still remember her.
I want to be remembered like that.
