Happy Birthday!

I wanted to write two posts today because it's not just any other day. I want to wish my wonderful mother-in-law a very happy "39th" birthday! You do so much for all of us; your children, their spouses and all of your family and friends that I just wanted to recognize you for that! We always appreciate everything that you do from dog sitting, to lunches and talking, to anytime that we can just be together. I am glad when we can sit down with a glass of wine and chat, or take a drive, or walk through Michael's for hours at a time finding new and creative things to do! Always remember that even though we (your children) are grown up and adults that we will always need you to be there for us. To support, to encourage, to celebrate, to honor and to love. We will continue to do the same for you! I am very lucky to have a wonderful mother-in-law that I can count on to be there for me for all the journeys in life.

I hope that your birthday is filled with love and memories, a blue drink, time on the lake and maybe some slots! Have a great visit with your parents and remember to relax as it is your day!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

"If I could give you diamonds

For each tear you cried for me.

If I could give you sapphires

For each truth you helped me see

If I could give you rubies.

For the heartache that you've known

If I could give you pearls

For the wisdom that you've shown.

Then you'll have a treasure, mother,

That would mount up to the skies.

That would almost match the sparkle

Of your kind and loving eyes.

But I have no pearls, no diamonds

As I'm sure you're well aware

So I'll give you gifts more precious

My devotion, love and care"
