Before the first of you was born, I had only a vague idea of what you would each bring to my life. But after these many years, I understand that you have brought me the best gifts God ever wrapped.

Because of you I have had days of glory.
Because of you some were a different story.
^*^*^*^*^
.Because of you I've had days when I nearly burst with pride.
Because of you I have had days when I cried.

Because of you I've always known where the sun rose.
(Because of you, yes, milk has come out of my nose.)
^*^*^*^*^
Because of you I learned to be strong.
Because of you I learned to be tender.
^*^*^*^*^
Because of you I learned to be frugal.
(Because of you I learned to Google.)
^*^*^*^*^
Because of you I learned to be clever
Because of you I have memories to last forever.

You are my pearls rubies, garnets, and emeralds, the jewels in the crown presented to me by your dear father, without whom, of course, I could never have written this blog.
I love you today and everyday.
Your Happy Mother
