Happy Birthday




My little girl is 39 today. She is Mama to four beautiful children, their teacher, a librarian, a wife, a darn good cook, a keeper of the home.
She has all the attributes of a Mom and Wife.


I vividly recall the day she was born, So Tiny, only 6lb 2 oz. Wanting to sleep, (she was three weeks early) but when she woke up, she woke up with a bang.
She knew her place in the family and rather enjoyed it, being the only girl, and being the baby and knowing how to get her brothers in trouble.
While doing all this she also learned, "Pretty girls sit quietly and wait for attention when in public."
She did learn early on to sit and take in the world and make of it what she wanted.
Her imagination took her on many journeys. She wrote little short stories, She wrote notes to us, I have a few I ran across the other day while clearing out old cards.
They brought back sweet memories of a little curly haired girl with a smile to melt your heart. A child that truly loved her surroundings and her family.
One to crawl up in your lap at days end, just to cuddle.
So Happy Birthday Princess.
Attached are two items she gave us while she was quite young,. One about 7 years old. The birthday card was filled with jokes from Readers digest and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Readers Digest is and was one of my favorite books.
The other is a story she wrote for class. Her imagination soared.
That is what we loved so much about her We never knew what she was going to do or write next. We have a pile of notes she wrote us.
My Personal favorite was a pity party note. "Hi this is nobody, if anybody cares I am in the car, but I am no body."
It was a cute note and we had many laughs about it, Of course we went to the car to hug and say "We love you".
Happy Birthday again Princess.
