October 17, 1985 at 0921 hrs. at 14 lbs and 20 inches long, God gave to us a miracle. We had both given up on ever being able to have children, whether from scratch or adopted, and then she came along. The nurses were great, they let me come into the nursery to feed and hold her as often as I wanted. She was soooo small . . . . I fell hopelessly in love with her the moment I first held her. When she was 2 days old we got to bring her home and our lives were never the same.
She has been on her own now for nearly 2 years . . . living in the wilds of Oregon. I miss her . . . but she is happy, and that is what counts. She has grown up to be an independant young woman of whom I am very proud of and of whom I am happy to know.
Wednesday is her 22 nd. birthday . . . unbelievable . . . where does the time go?
Happy Birthday Sweetpea, we love you!
