Amanda Anne was born on this day 40 years ago. Since that day she has always been a constant joy. I don't know where she got her wit and sense of humor or her style or her amazingly beautiful heart. I've seen it again and again - anyone, human or animal, who comes near her feels loved and precious. I think of it as a golden glow which surrounds her. Happy Birthday, Bean, I love you, Mom.
What a sweet picture of Mom and Daughter, Diane. Bean is your daughter in Alaska... Right???? (Maybe I have them mixed up!!!)

Having a daughter is one of the greatest blessings. What a lovely tribute to your daughter - a birthday gift you gave to yourself forty years ago!
ReplyDeleteObviously, she got it from you Diane! I love this picture of the 2 of you, she's lucky to have all this passed on to her. Where did her nick name come from?
ReplyDeleteI love this picture of the two of us too! We both look so young! And I love the purple, and how you are wrapping your love and protection around me! I always feel it . . . I love you so much, thank you for all of your wishes and love on my birthday. xobean
