Happy bday my beautiful daughter

Rachel was born aprx. 8 weeks premature on August 18th, 1974(prenancy ultrasounds not performed back than). She fought hard to survive her most rocky first months on this earth. Her Dad and I were tested in our faith first with her early arrival and than again with her hospitalization at 10 weeks old when she got the flu and came close to dying.


How blessed am I to have such a strong daughter whom has endured a life altering change this year with her divorce. She continues to work very hard to provide her sons with as much consistency as possible in their life's and part of that challenge is to continue residing in the only home they've known.

I hope and pray this upcoming year will bring my daughter much deserved peace and joy.


Just fyi: this is possibly the only time Rachel had her hair long enough as a child to put in pigtails because she hated having her hair brushed, barrettes or rubber bands used:) and that was the reason for short hair most of her childhood!! Now ya know....


I love you with all my heart my little miracle....
