Today Is A Good Day

Jess, I've been thinking about you lately.  I remember when you started school; you were only 4 years old, turning 5.  You were one of the youngest in your class, but you were brave, good-spirited, and smiled any way.


You know, I have dreams sometimes, and you are always the child that is with me in my dreams.

When you were a teenager, you were head strong and feisty, but always respectful to me.

You turned into a lovely woman, and I want to thank you, here and now, for all your goodness.  You  have made this mom very happy.

Arthur Hughes


I know how much you love orange pumpkins in October, so here's a BIG FAT birthday cookie for you.


Happy Birthday, Jess!
May your day be filled
with wonder.

    Dear Jess,
    This post says:

    " The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller

    And when a mother loves this deeply a child - beyond the blood and family bonds - it's because she's humbled by the Amazing Human Being she gave birth for. In that day she didn't bringa child to her world but a Blessing to The World.

    You're Beautiful inside and out. A True Blessing and an Inspiration. May this day be filled with much more blessings of love, admiration and honor like you deserve.

    Happy Birthday Jess! Congratulations Luckiest Mother in the World!

    Yours,

    Teresa
