She does not expect this

Happy birthday my daughter a homesteading neophyte

It has been thirty years since I first laid eyes on you. You were such a surprise. After all, I was the first girl in generations. So, I certainly, did not expect a girl. What a wonderful surprise you were. I hope I have done well by you. I cherished the fact that I had a baby girl.

I know that your adult life has had sorrow. You lost your son and now your father. You, however, have showed great strength in all circumstances. This year you have had to take on more roles than most young women but, you endure with grace. I know how much you must miss your father. Especially, him calling you "Honey, baby, sweets". I can't fill that void in your life, but, I love you and will always be your support, confidante and parent.

You make me proud. You see your dreams and go for them. Life will not pass you by. Keep grabbing for that dream you are making it come true. We talk everyday, we laugh a lot, we share intimacies, and complain about life. I look forward to those calls and to the screams of your children in the background.

These are the best years of your life. Enjoy, take advantage of them, have fun. So many times we take life far to seriously. It is a gift from God and gifts are made to enjoy. You are one of my joys and pleasures. A treasure in my chest of gifts.
