Today is the birthday of my dear daughter.

Happy birthday, darling.

You arrived in my life after a long, long wait. From the first moment I learned you were coming and always, I will love you with all my heart.

Today is a day for immense laughter, joy, and being thankful for the blessings of having a Tessie in my life.

I hope, dear readers, that all of you will have an opportunity to share a special birthday with someone you love this year.

Have a wonderful day.
