32!

Opening my email this morning to this sweet letter...

To my (our) dear sweet daughter on her birthday!  I just read your letter to Adelyn and she has so many of your same sweet traits that started in you!  You always made/make us laugh and loved to put on "shows" for us!  Your sweet brown eyes and beautiful auburn hair always got attention when we were out. You always took care of your "babies" and have grown into such a loving mommy to your own live "babies"!  You do have a "servant's heart" and put others before you so many times!  You always want to make them feel special!  You even were in the hospital 2 years ago, giving birth to our little (big) Adelyn, now sharing your birthday celebration with her.
I wish I could be with you today to make your day special, but I'm sure Josh, Aidan, Abigail, Adelyn, and Avery are there to cater to your every need! :-)  I hope you are feeling better and can enjoy your day...even if it is napping all day!
We are so proud of you accomplishing your goal to run the 5k!  We always knew/know you can do anything you set your mind to do!  You are such a blessing to me (us) and I praise the Lord that "He drew you to Himself" and that you have grown into a strong woman of faith who loves the Lord and continues to grow in Him!
I love you and continue to pray for you!
Happy Birthday and with love,
Mom

Thank you Mom. You are so sweet and thoughtful. I know on MY birthday you waited and were so patient for my own arrival on Feb 11, 1982 (waiting two weeks after the due date) so I can only say I learn from the best. ;) You (and Dad) are the one(s) to teach me those qualities and I'm proud of that. Thank YOU for always catering to me and loving me unconditionally. I love you. :)
