Happy Birthday Pean!

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

~ Helen Keller

Today I was telling the story of Phyllis.  Today is her birthday you know.  The quote above was from today's incourage blog.  

I think about my girl and I just can't believe she's mine.  Behind every good mom is a great kid!  She's not here today, she's with her friends up north.  I sent some of her presents with her and kept some back here.  all that time ago, I would have never thought that I could love someone as much as I love her. I didn't even think it was possible.  And to think God loves us even more than that!  That makes me want to cry.

I don't know what I could say about Phyllis that you don't already know.  She's beautiful, and funny, and smart, and hard working, she is sweet but she will kick your butt. She's brave.  She's artistic, and talented.  She's strong.  And sometimes shy.  She lights up a room like no one else. Her laugh makes me laugh.  Her smile makes me smile, when she cries, I cry (and then I want to kick whatever it was that made her cry).  I'd never change a decision that put her first.  I'd fight to the death for her.  

I wonder what she will be when she grows up.  I wonder...  I know that whatever it is, life with her has been a grand adventure!  I know I've messed up so many times, and somehow God's grace has covered us both.

I'm so thankful for her!  I know that I didn't deserve her, but God let me borrow one of His children!

Happy Birthday Pean!  I loveyou! and am so proud to be your momma!!!  You are my greatest earthly blessing!

I loveyou more today, than yesterday!  But not as much as tomorrow!
