My Kathy Doodle

Well today is such a special day. It is Kathy's birthday. This day 27 years ago changed my life forever. I was only 21 years old when I had her and had no idea how/what to do with a baby. Evidently I didn't make too many serious mistakes because she is a wonderful daughter, sister, (to four brothers) grandchild, friend, co-worker, fiance, and citizen of the world.

Today I am so grateful that God sent her to me and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was sent to me because I honestly do not believe I would have made it to this point in my life without her. Against all "parenting advice" she is my best friend. She is ten times more beautiful on the inside than on the outside and the outside is pretty damned beautiful. She spent the night with me last night and is sleeping at this time in my guest room. I can't wait for her to wake up so she can crawl in bed with me and we can sit here and talk. I usually spend the whole day calling her and reminding her about where I was and what I was doing at this particular time 27 years ago. (Boy, she loves this)! lol

Thank you God for my firsst of three special gifts
