TO OUR SWEET BABY GIRL HEATHER RACHELLE
29 YEARS AGO TODAY, WE RECEIVED ONE OF OUR GREATEST BLESSINGS.
A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY, HAPPY, SWEET, BABY GIRL!
SHE WAS BORN ON TUESDAY JULY 25, 1978. AT 2:18 P.M. WEIGHING IN AT 8LBS- 81/2 OZ. AND 21" LONG. SHE HAD DARK BROWN EYES, AND A LITTLE BIT OF HAIR. (SO SHE WAS QUICKLY NICK-NAMED BALDO-WALDO, BY HER DAD). =)
I CAN STILL REMEMBER TO THIS VERY DAY, EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THAT DAY. WHEN THEY FIRST PLACED YOU IN MY ARMS, AND I HELD YOUR TINY LITTLE HAND, AND LOOKED DOWN AT YOU, STILL SO FRESH FROM FATHER IN HEAVENS ARMS TO MINE. I KNEW THEN, THIS WAS THE LOVE OF A LIFETIME, A LOVE UNLIKE ANY OTHER, I WAS A MOTHER, FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I WOULD BE A MOTHER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. IT WAS OVER WHELMING, HOW MUCH I ALREADY LOVED THIS PRECIOUS LIFE I HELD IN MY ARMS, I WAS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY,MADLY, TRULY, DEEPLY, IN LOVE.
YOU WERE THE APPLE OF DADDY'S EYE, HIS PRIDE AND JOY. THE FIRST TIME HE HELD YOUR LITTLE HAND IN HIS, YOU ALSO HELD HIS HEART. OF COURSE, THE FEELING WAS MUTUAL. YOU WERE A "DADDY'S GIRL".
HEATHER, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW VERY MUCH WE LOVE YOU, AND LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH JOY YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO OUR LIVES, AND HOW VERY PROUD, WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OF YOU. IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE AND A PURE JOY, BEING YOUR PARENTS, YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A HAPPY, FUNNY, SILLY, KIND, LOVING, GIVING, SWEET, GIRL.
MOST ALL OF OUR GREASTEST JOYS, AND HAPPIEST MEMORIES INCLUDE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
WE LOVE YOU, FOREVER AND ALWAYS.
MOM & DAD

What a sweet "Way Back Wednesday", and boy do I mean WAY BACK! Man Heather, 29 years old, you're getting up there. JUST KIDDING! =) I'm not too far behind. Such a cute picture and beautiful words. Brought tears to my eyes. Happy Birthday Heather!
You guys are too sweet! Both of you made me cry! I loved our vacation. I wish we were STILL at the beach. Why did it have to go so fast. Thanks for a great birthday weekend, and thanks for being my Mom!
