today is a very special day.
i am celebrating the lives of three wonderful people who were born on july 10th.
they are: my mom - dottie, my sister - valerie, and my hubby- christopher. i
t's a day i could never forget.
i always thought it was really cool that my mom's first child (valerie) was born on her birthday.
what a beautiful gift to her that year. how could that ever be topped?
i wish i could be with the girls to give them both BIG hugs. s
ince i can't, i will share with them a few reasons why they are so special.
mom - endless amounts of patience puts her right up there with mother teresa.
truly she is a a gift from heaven and i'm have been lucky to call her mom and to have her in my life.
i hope all the kindness she shows to others comes back to her 100 times.
valerie - kind and selfless are the two words that come to mind when i think of her.
i can't remember a time when she wasn't good to me - from the days we were kids and sharing a
bedroom to my teenage years when she allowed me to live in her home (even when she was a 1st time mom. now we are adults and she continues to love me and my boys from afar. i couldn't ask for a sweeter sister.
christopher - my confidant, my partner, my lover, the father to my children and my best friend.
what can i say, i am a lucky i get to share my life with him. today he will get his birthday wish - a sunset surf session with his wife! YES i will brave the cold california water for my love. maybe we'll even catch a wave together like we used to do. *wink*
happy birthday to you all, and here's to many many more....
