A Very Special Day

At 8:32 AM 11 years ago today, I gave my heart away for the third time.

Holly Through The Years

As I watch my beautiful baby girl poised on the cusp of womanhood, there are not enough words to express how much having her for my daughter means to me.

A very happy birthday to my own Holly.

“Poised on the cusp of womanhood” sounds like you are describing Dagny!! LOL. Had to say it.

Happy Birthday to The Girl!!

  Ha! You know what? If she turned out half as driven and capable as Dagny, I’d be okay with that.
