My Beautiful Baby Girl...

She was born on June 10, 1963 and was to be my only daughter.  One was enough, she is that special.  Initially, I didn't realize how lucky I was but when she was followed by three boys, it became quite apparent.   How precious to have a daughter.  I have always been thankful for our time together, our like interests, my joy when I hear her laugh.  Even better when I make her laugh.  She is a wife, mom, noni, sister, aunt, and friend to all who know her.  She is a very creative writer, sews, knits, paints, and gardens.  She has a dog, a cat, and chickens in her backyard.  I am describing one Hell of an interesting person and I am both proud of the person she has become and priviledged to know her and call her my friend.  I love you, Laurie.  Happy Birthday.
