HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBYN!!!

Thirty two years ago today, I gave birth

to this gorgeous girl. I was SOOOO thrilled

to have a little girl after two boys. I had always

imagined myself raising little girls with pony tails

and dresses and black patent shoes and then I had

two boys. When Robyn came, she fulfilled my dreams.

AND she paved the way for her three younger sisters.

She was always maternal and loved babies from the

get-go. She was my assistant Mom and I never could

have raised 6 children without her help.

She is the best Mom I know and is SOOO much

better at it than I was. I admire her more than

I can say. Her life is so busy and so full right now

as she is working on building her family.

And she is amazing...I stand in AWE most

of the time.

She is everything you would want your daughter

to be. She is a girly girl...loves wearing dresses,

and having her hair fancy, and wearing jewelry,

was a dancer and was a great example for her

little sisters.

The Lord knew who to send to my family
and when to send her.

She is still the "gatherer" of our family

and whenever she is there, everyone wants

to join in. As Dustin says, she is the Dalai

Lama and we all want to be there when Robyn

is in town.

She has a warm and tender heart and is

caring and loving to all those around her.

She has TONS of friends and people love to

share their problems, joys and sorrows with

Robyn because they know she will listen.

She speaks her mind and has lots of opinions

(she may have inherited that from me)

but it is always witht he best of intentions.
She is spiritual and irreverent at the same

time and it is charming.

She is probably my best friend....we share so

many wonderful memories and see eye to eye

on most everything in life. I'm so blessed

to have her in my life and celebrate this day with

her because it was a life changing day for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!

I wish I could be there to celebrate with you.

I hope your day is wonderful.

XOXOXOXO
