Happy Birthday, Nancy




Today is my daughter, Nancy's, birthday. I won't say how old she is because it makes me old. I hope she has a very happy day on her xxth birthday. She lives in sunny Arizona with her husband and my grandson. They have been through many trials the past three years but she has shown what a great mother she is by pushing through all the pain and worries and making sure Tyler has all the services he is entitled to. She is patient with him and helps him learn to walk and communicate with others. She has had to go through things that most of us never know, but she is proving up to the task. She is very thoughtful of others and volunteers to help as much as she can at a long distance away. I remember her making me laugh so hard at her off-the-cuff jokes when she was in high school. Garth and I were talking about the time she bit her tongue and needed to get stitches, then just a few days later slit her head open and needed stitches again. Do you still have a funny bump on your tongue? A reminder to "watch your tongue!" We love you and can't wait for our visit in a few weeks! This picture was taken almost three years ago when Tyler was only about a month old. Sorry about the three year old picture. I need to update my files. Happy birthday

Don't forget then you slipped in Grandpa's shop and tore the muscle in your leg... Gosh your clumsy Nancy! We always know that when we are stripping floors (CLEANING) that nobody will fall until Nancy falls on her butt! And, once that happens, everyone is doomed! :) Happy Birthday Nancy!
