Wow where have the years gone? Thirteen years ago today changed our lives forever.I never thought I wanted children of my own.I never thought I could be a Mom.But one day I decided I was ready.And on November 17 1999 my sweet daughter was born.And on the same day 10 years earlier her Grandmother passed.
We are truly blessed in so many ways.So thankful for her.She is so special. I know everyone says that about there own child.But mine is truly a one of a kind.Never in a million years would I thought I would be lucky enough to have such an amazing girl! She is kind,thoughtful,beautiful on the inside and out and smart.She loves to read and loves animals especially her cat Tabby.
When she was a baby she would sleep right through the night after about a month.She was never whiny nor did she cry for no reason.
She went from her crib to her bed no problem.
Went from a bottle to a sippy cup.
Potty training was the only issue.
I could bring her in a toy store and she would never cry she wanted things.She was just happy! Everyone always commented on how good she was even in church and as a new born on a plane.
She has always been content.
How did I get so lucky?? I don’t know but I thank God every single day for her.
She is my little miracle.
I waited a bit too long to have my first and only child and I am lucky and blessed to have her.

Happy Happy Birthday to both of you… yes, you as well… after all without all that 9 months waiting and then the delivery, she would never have arrived!!!! Its always special to name a day when your little one arrived.. I was lucky and have five that came to join us… but enjoy the day ,and of course she will be spoiled, but I think you should pamper yourself too for all the hard work that gave you your darling girl!!! I’m sure you will continue to have a very special relationship, even tho the teens do prove somewhat challenging sometimes!!!! Hugs from across the pond** Janzi

Happy Birthday to your daughter! These are the years that you will get to see her blossom into a woman. Let the hormornes begin! Ha! My first son stayed gone all the time once he started highschool. So, enjoy her youth while you still can. Sounds like she’s a wonderful young lady.

AWL happy birthday teenager!
Nov 13th is an important day for me, it was on a Nov 13th I was first engaged, and 3 years ago on Nov 13th my daughter was married.
Something about that date, huh?
