Dear Addilyn,
Saturday night I was getting our church clothes ready and picked out your yellow and pink pig smocked dress. But, a button was missing so I called Grandma Teen. Grandma Teen has hundreds of buttons, needles, and thread. (because she never throws away anything) You momma didn't have anything to sew with.....nothing. I can always call Grandma Teen and she will have whatever I need....sugar, eggs, bacon, Vicks rub, stamps, and needles and thread. One time, when I was dating your Daddy, I wanted to wear this button up black shirt. A button was missing so I went to Grandma's and sewed it up. Your Papa Bud was still alive then. Here it is 6 years later....maybe I should purchase some needle and thread alreayd. Anyways, when I got home and started threading the needle your Daddy said I was doing it wrong so he took over. He sat on your bed and sewed your little smocked dress up for church.....he's a sweet Daddy!! The reason I wanted to post this is to remember 2 things.
1. There is a reason Grandma Teen has kept all those Cool Whip tubs full of buttons and thread...someday, someone may need them.
2. When you were 3 yrs old your Daddy was sitting on the edge of your bed sewing a button onto your smocked dress.
Sweet memories!!
Love you, Momma
