Forty nine years ago it began | Filed under General
June 15, 1956, very few people could be found in Littletown for most of them were pacing the halls of a hospital. If they were not there then they were at the local baseball game. My mom and dad had been married seven years and for most of that time they were trying to have a child. At last it is time and everyone is ready but the physician is at the baseball game. Excuse me but by now most of you know I have a mind of my own. No I was not waiting, and he better be there. I arrived with my mouth wide open and some will say it has never been shut since. Did it matter, not at all for you see I made my mom and dad ecstatic. They had their first child and I have been a source of one of their pride and joy’s ever since.
No one could have been blessed with better parents but a part of my heart was taken on December 27, 2001 when my dad died. I know he is above me smiling down for he was a very good man, one who spoke few words but one of many good deeds and he is missed very much in this Littletown. My mom is still with us and I have moved back here to take care of her . What can I say other than she is my mom and I love her more each day.
On this special day as I reflect, I have many things to be thankful for most of all the love of my husband, Carl, my wonderful family, and great friends. Today I want nothing for my special day other than to give back for I have been given so much. I have thought long and hard of what I could do on this special day, My Birthday and at last I know what it will be. I have decided I will make a donation to honor some very special people in my life. This donation will go to Blog Togs to be used with the June charity for the month. I like to donate to Blog Togs because I respect the two ladies and love what they do every month and I wish I had talent to share in the venture so this is my own little way of adding.
So for my Mom, Dad, Carl, William, Pat and many others, for all you have each given me that has allowed me to grow and to learn to love as I do today, I say Thank You for Life Is Simply Good. Yes and there will be many more birthday’s for I just get better with the help of my family and friends. Now let the party begin but first go by and tell Brian Happy Birthday for I am so Happy to share this special day with him.

My Victoria…
Yet again a crack has formed…life goes on, we get busy, and we forget…
I know forgiveness has already been given as I see you standing there…putty in hand and the crack sealed tightly…forever shut…never to be opened again…
On this day…know that my soul stands with yours upon the mount…looking over all that is before us…and we see that Life is Simply Good…
Happy Birthday Victoria…Seize this day that He has made and put before you…and know that it is I…who stands blessed…to be counted as a friend by such an incredible Lady as yourself!
Your words move so many…they inspire us…they drive us…they give to us a moment to reflect upon…what is truly important in this life…and that is our friends.
Soar with me Dear Victoria…and know that Always…you are…
My Victoria

This post, like each of your posts before, leaves me with a breath of fresh hope and faith. So often, one hears that this world is a less caring and compassionate one. I beg to differ. I believe that the true gems must be discovered. For it’s the only way that we will know when a beautiful gem and spirit has entered our lives. Thank you for allowing me to share with you. You are a true gem. I’m certain that your Father is smiling down at you from up above….
Happy, Happy Birthday to you. May the next 365 days bring you more joy and love than your heart could ever hold. May it over flow always.
Again, Happy Birthday, Victoria!!!!

Our dear little friend Claire Tatom, one of the heroes I mentioned last week, shares your birthday also.
Happy Birthday dear Vickie, a day late but the sentiment is the genuine.
Come to San Diego and I’ll take you out to Extraordinary Desserts to eat something deliciously unhealthy in celebration.
