Today was her 6th birthday. This baby daughter of mine, a miraculous surprise late in life. No kisses and hugs from Mama to usher in her 6th year; a painful consequence of misjudging a man's heart and true intent.
shell, your love for her.shines brightly in everything you write about her. not trying to deny your pain at not having her with you today, but i expect that she carries your hugs and kisses with her everywhere. here's a {{{hug}}} for you. and she's a major cutie pie, by the way :)
Love the bow! I know birthdays are special days. I didn't insist on much, but I did insist on always getting to spend my daughter's bday with her on the actual day. Her dad was really great about things like that. Six is the best age!
BTW, I thought this was going to be about a memoir she entered without your permission! I was thinking, kids these days! haha. Happiest birthday to your daughter!
these six words leapt out from the sermon I heard in church this morning. Thanks Pastor Jodi. (I attend a Baptist church which has two lady ministers on the pastoral team.)We can live with peace and joy no matter...
