HAPPY BIRTHDAY ♥ BETHANY ♥ !!!

Every year I have a tradition with my children.  I remind them of how much they were wanted and loved and cherished, even before they were born.  They are the joy of my life.  I am rich beyond measure because of them.

Today is my daughter's 24th birthday.  She actually celebrated it yesterday though, because in Australia, they are one day ahead of us.  Yes, Australia!  My beautiful, intelligent, motivated daughter is presenting her research at her first conference.  She was picked out of hundreds of entries!  Not even two years into grad school and she's already making a name for herself.  I am so very proud of her.

Bethany, I love you so very much.  God has blessed me beyond my highest hopes and dreams when He shared you with me.  I hope you have an awesome trip!  You will knock them dead when you present.  You are articulate, warm, and a wonderful communicator.  I am in awe of you...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter how old you get, you will always be that cute little girl with the gerber face to me...

When you were born ~ Your beginning

Love,
Mom
