JULY 25, AT 2:18 IN THE AFTERNOON WILL FOREVER BE ETCHED INTO MY MIND AND HEART.
ON THIS DAY, AT THAT TIME, THIRTY YEARS AGO, I RECEIVED ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS & TERRIFYING GIFTS I HAVE EVER RECEIVED.
I HAD TO WORK SO HARD FOR THIS SPECIAL AND UNIQUE GIFT, AND ENDURE GREAT PAIN AND WORRY. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
HOW COULD A GIFT SO SMALL AND PRECIOUS, STIR SUCH A FLOOD OF STRONG EMOTIONS. I LOVED THIS BLESSED GIFT IN I WAY I HAD NEVER LOVED BEFORE, I KNEW THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE THESE EXACT FEELINGS EVER AGAIN. IT WAS ALL A BIT SURREAL. I FELT ELATED AND TERRIFIED ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
THIS SWEET LITTLE GIFT, FULFILLED MY EARLIEST CHILDHOOD DREAMS. WITH THIS PRECIOUS GIFT CAME A MOST COVETED TITLE AND RESPONSIBILITY. I SUDDENLY FELT UNWORTHY OF SUCH A REMARKABLE AND TRULY SPECIAL GIFT.
I WANTED TO CHERRISH THIS GIFT, PROTECT AND NURTURE, ALWAYS GUARD AND KEEP THIS GIFT RIGHT NEXT TO MY HEART.
THIS CHERRISHED BEAUTIFUL GIFT, HAS GIVEN ME JOY, AND HAPPINESS BEYOND WHAT WORDS CAN DESCRIBE. EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE FOR THE PAST THIRTY YEARS.
TRULY, THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. IT IS A SPECIAL GIFT, THAT KEEPS ON GIVING EVERYDAY.
SUCH A SPECIAL, UNIQUE AND PRECIOUS GIFT MUST BE SHARED. SO I HAVE. MY BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING GIFT HAS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF MANY. I FEEL BLESSED AND HONORED TO HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH THE HONOR AND CARE OF SUCH A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL GIFT, IT HAS BEEN MY PLEASURE TO SHARE MY GIFT WITH THE WORLD.
ON THIS DAY I GIVE THANKS TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER FOR GIVING ME ONE OF MY MOST BLESSED AND CHERRISHED GIFTS. MY FIRST SWEET LITTLE SPIRIT TO EVER GIVE ME THE HONOR OF MOTHERHOOD.
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I COULD EVER EXPRESS, I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU HAVE FELT AND KNOWN, WHAT A PRECIOUS GIFT YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY GIRL!!!!

Thanks guys. The kids think I have finally lost it because i am sitting here crying at the computer!! Thanks for letting me live to be 30, I'm sure there were times you contemplated my early demise! ha ha!!! Love ya!!! And Happy Birthday to you guys too! Now that I am a parent I realize how special a child's birthday is, and how it brings so much joy to remember that special day that you became a parent!!
You put it all so sweetly. I'm sitting here at work trying not to cry! I can't wait for the same opportunity. It was so fun last night going through old slides of my dad's. There are pictures of you and Debbie and Heather as a baby...we'll have to get together and laugh together.
