Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL
I can't believe she is 21 today...where has time gone. I was prepared to let the big girls be 21, but this is not right!!! I remember when that red head came into our lives. What a day. Big sisters who were bouncing around at the news...grandparents who were worried and excited and so happy to have a beautiful red head. Parents who were so proud and tired. Poor Mom, alone with the mean Dr and potentially bad news. A scary time, and then the great news that she is ok and all is well. And she has been nothing but absolutely ok for 21 years and for that we all thank God.
All of the grandchildren have been a joy and we are so proud of all three of them. They are the light of my life. There is something about the baby that tugs at your heart when it comes time to let them grow up. But, Rachel has always been grown up...so what is new?
Children that continue to let you be part of their lives are a great blessing and I thank them all for that.
So, Rachel....have a great Birthday...We all love you and thank you for letting us be part of your life.
