I Love Whit!

Context:
(Rough-housing)

Cam: You will NEVER vanquish me!

Whit: I am going to vanquish the CRAP out of you!!!

She graduates in June, accomplishing in 4 years what most barely get done in 5. She works hard and it’s all about to pay off!

But really. Not just in a wishful sentimental way. She was at my house on Saturday, before I was, helping set up for Fifi’s party. Whenever she isn’t at some family event, people wonder where she is. But not in that “Hey, where’s your girlfriend?” kind of way, but in a “Hey, we’re missing a part of the family!” kind of way. I’m so glad that she’s assimilated so well. My family, great as it is, seems to take a little getting used to. And Whit fits right in. She’s indispensable!

She’s the greatest woman in the world. She’s bright, she’s funny, she’s incredibly talented. But talent is not much to admire since it’s given, not achieved. But Whitney works harder than anyone I know and cultivates and develops her talents. She doesn’t let her gifts make her lazy – and I admire that about her.

So. I was chosen as one of 40 contestants in a local “Biggest Loser” contest. It’s based loosely on the show of the same title. Whitney has been nothing but encouraging. And – I guess – any ‘good’ person would be. But Whit is an active encouragement in my life. She cheers me on. She loves me. She’s proud of me. I can’t do it without her. And, let’s face it, I wouldn’t have done it without her.
