Happy 19th Birthday, Victoria!
...leaving for work...
...with fresh-baked treats for her co-workers!
Trying To Find Words…
(for that which there seem no words for)
It’s hard to find the perfect lines
To ‘Daughter, let me count the ways’
A poem never quite defines
In full, what a mother’s heart says
Love is a lovely thing indeed
But often veils the breathless art
Of tides that tumble and recede
Across the shorelines of the heart
The ebb and flow of dawn to dusk
Steals mother’s little girls away
Her empty arms are full of love
Her heart with words she cannot say
Of tender hope and happiness
For you, so lovely, sweet and kind
Of humble pride and thankfulness
So intricately intertwined
So, though words falter on her tongue
It does not keep her prayers at bay
To love the Lord while you are young
To seek His wisdom and His way
To trust in Him with all Your heart
To learn how to follow His lead
Where faith is the most vital part
If we wish to truly succeed
It’s hard to tame love into lines
Or name unnumbered reasons why
But I will try unnumbered times
Until the ink of life runs dry
Happy 19th Birthday, Victoria,
Love Mom
Hard to believe our 'baby of the family' is 19!!
Hard to believe our 'baby of the family' is 19!!
Because of a late work-shift today we did the birthday dinner on Saturday.
What flavour of cake?
but alas! I forgot about candles.
This did not please Grand-sonny at all!
A birthday cake without candles simply could not be
so we rooted through drawers until we found 19 assorted tea-lights and votives.
(not pretty but THAT was beside the point😁)
...and now, the truth about why the candles were so important😀
We are not sure who blew out most of them.😘
(sure wish this shot hadn't blurred!)
On Sunday we visited Melissa so she could share in the celebration too!
Victoria, we all love you!
Keep shining!
