HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today my firstborn turns 34 years old. How is this possible? I gave birth to her when I was just 16. Where have the years gone?

It seems like just yesterday that she was starting kindergarten:

( remember how you hated it when I cut your bangs because I could never cut them straight?!)

Then I blinked my eyes and you were graduating from High School

( remember when we actually started being friends instead of butting heads all the time?)

I blinked again and I was at your wedding

And now you have 3 wonderful girls of your own

We've had an interesting life together. Things were not always easy between us. I often wonder how we could possibly have ended up where we are today, not just mother and daughter, but really good friends, too.

I love you SHANNON LARUE.

I'm very proud to be your Mother.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

.........love Mom
