Bubba

You know that friend you've had practically your entire life? The one you tell everyone is your cousin and that you really are related. Yeah I have one of those. His name is Matt, but I call him Bubba. Why am I writing about him? Well, i've seen a lot of post on facebook lately "____ first dance" . This will be a short one but I want to give credit where credit is due and I've never shared this with anyone not even my Bubba.
        In first grade I saw him and said, I know him and it was uphill from there. We told everyone we were cousins. On the playground he would pretend to be a preacher and I would lead the choir. Recess was our time and the memories I made back then i'll cherish forever. I was in 4th grade when I went to my first school dance. I was having a blast! I was dancing to all of those fantastic late nineties hits. then a slow song came on and one by one couples lined up on the mid court line in the gym at Chatsworth Elementary. Girls with their hands on boys shoulders and boys with their hands on girls waists moving left to right. Not exaggerating when I say I was the only girl not up there. So this was the first time I really had low self esteem. My fourth grade mind was going crazy with all kinds of things. "am i ugly?" "the smelly kid is dancing with someone" "do i smell worse?" "why am I taller than all the boys" "they always pick me first for kickball, why not now?" So 10 year old little Kacey sat on the top seat, in the corner where no one could see her and shed a few tears :( My face was in my hands when someone hugged me. I look up and see my best friend, he didn't say anything just took my hand and walked me down to the floor where everyone was lined up. He just smiled at me and I felt better. This happened to me a lot. I was always friends with boys but i was never the girl with a "boyfriend" Dances would come and No one for slow dances then Matt would come dance with me. I don' care if it was out of pity. He didn't care what anyone thought and he'd dance with me. I know it may not seem like a lot to you guys, but it was friends like this that made me believe I was beautiful. He gave me confidence. As we got older I went to more dances with different guys but my Bubba always saved a dance for me.

We are 27 years old now and have been friends for over 20 years.I love this guy so much and I'm so proud of all that he has done. I'm most proud of the way he loves his family and I include myself in his family. He is good people. I love you Bubba.
