Happy Birthday Mom!

Dear Mom, Seeing as you're about the only person who reads this little blog of ours, I wanted to write you a little note to tell you how much we love you! Thank you, first and foremost for participating with God in creating my dear, sweet Adam. I can't imagine life without him and that is all because of you! Second, thank you for my daughters, who since they came from your son, wouldn't exist without you. Because of those three gifts from you to me, I find so much joy each day. So this day, your birthday, my gift is a little one...a thank you. Thank you for all you do for your family-for your prayers, your love, your concern, your care, your waking up at 4:00am to do laundry or make pumpkin pie (hopefully with sugar this time!), your working at Lowe's so as to come visit your favorite son and daughter-in-law in Michigan and, again, YOUR PRAYERS. I realized over our visit to you all for Thanksgiving that you hold the family together, you complete it and bind it. The times we were there, with everyone, except for you...they just didn't feel right. Your family needs you so much. We ache for the love you give. Thank you. It is so good that you exist. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
