Beauty...

...in everything you are and everything you do.  Resolute.  A breath of fresh air.  A cool, clean pool in a boiling, parched desert.  Encourager.  Listener.  Wise, wisdom-giver.  Mama to my favorite first nephew and favorite niece and soon to be youngest nephew.  Teacher.  Student.  Pillar of strength.  Calm.  Loving.  So, so dear to my heart.  Enthusiastic(you know, as in CHEERLEADER...aerobics, anyone?)!  Supporter of, lover of, respecter of, partner of my first brother.  Advocate for so, SO many of us...eternal gratefulness all around.  Lover of and devoted to God.  Inspiration...(ladies, pregnancy tries to kill her...for.real...and she has wanted to do it more than once!!) for so many reasons.  Joyful.  Rarely turning down an adventure.  Leader when called to lead...follower when following calls...you light up a room.  There is always an empty space in our lives when you are not near! 

 Your daughter has such an amazing and beautiful mama to learn from.

Love, love, love you and miss, miss, miss you.

Happy Beautiful Birthday!!
