It’s a very special birthday today because I think about how this time 34 years ago, my mom was doing the very same thing I’m doing now: starting a new adventure with a new baby and dreaming of all that the future holds. It’s a new and strange thing to love this little unborn one, and I cherish the gift that is the love my parents gave and continue to give me…more on this birthday than ever before. Birthdays will never be the same…with much love and many heartbeats of gratefulness…today is a day I celebrate my mom!

…thank you ,Sweetie…makes me think back to that morning you were born @ 10:21 a.m. after a long night of labor…when I first held you, smiling through my tears at the miracle of you, a long lean beautiful baby girl!! So thankful you had safely entered our “world of love” to become our little sister. God knew exactly who our family needed to be complete…it was YOU! His design, His plan for our good and His glory. You have always been dearly loved and cherished as a daughter and sister. You have brought so much love and joy to us. Thank you for being your own unique, special person, our very special #3!!! Today I pray and anxiously await the moment you hold yours and Eric’s firstborn. You will know the joy I speak of as only a mother can know, and you will know the joys and tears I speak of, and you will experience the grateful heart of a Mother.Happy Birthday #34! Love you!!!
