Happy Birthday precious girl

posted in Just life |

Our daughter was born on a morning much like todayexactly12 years ago. I remember bringing her home from the hospital and while holding her tiny body in my arms, seeing as if for the first time, the huge magnolia blossoms that crowded the blue sky outside my window. Those blossoms, like fluffy white and pink handkerchiefs, seemed to wave to me in celebration of her birth and the promise of her life. I gazed into her sweet face and felt the magnolia blossoms were a good omenhow auspicious to be born on such a day. As I have watched her grow into the beautiful, smart, young lady she is becoming, whether she is dancing, drawing, creating board games or texting her friends, she carries that light and hope within her. And every year when we celebrate her birth under the glorious magnolia blossoms, I am reminded again that she is our gift to the world and its blessing back to us. Happy Birthday precious girl—we love you!

    This was beautiful, Jackie! My son was born on June 21, the first day of summer. As you know, it’s the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. When I was a kid, it was my favorite day – school was out and the most daylight hours for fun outside – and now even more so! Happy Birthday!
