There's so much more that I could share. I hope you know how precious you are, Sweet Girl! Have fun in Paris - that's a pretty awesome birthday present!!
Thanks, Mom! You made my day, and put a huge smile on my face. I still laugh at a few of those pictures. I certainly have gone through some changes over the years. I am blessed each year more and more by God's gracious hand, surrounded by love from family and friends, and able to see and experience so much of the world even as I grow older. You are such a loving and generous mom. Thank-you for thinking about me today. I love you.
ReplyDeleteWow, how time flies, eh Crystal? doesn't it seem like just yesterday.....
ReplyDeleteI am constantly inspired by your relationships with your children....I hope to enjoy the same closeness with mine as they age. Thanks for setting the bar high!
Happy Birthday Melinda... A birthday in Paris... oh how devine!!!
ReplyDeleteCrystal, I too am in awe of your relationship with your daughters. My Mom and I are very close, and I hope one day when my own daughters grow that we have the same special bond that you have with your daughters and I with my Mom.
Happy Birthday Melinda! Enjoy Paris.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos throughout the years but mostly your touching words. You have such a wonderful relationship with all your girls. It truly inspires us all. Big hugs to you.
