Happy Birthday!!!

It is amazing to me how many people share birthdays. I know the year only holds 365 days and everyone has to have a birthday. Logic tells me that you must share the day with others. Glen and I were amazed at how many of our family members share their birthdays. The fact that our daughter and I share the day helped to created the needed attachment. Glen shares his with a niece and M shares his with a cousin. These are not the only ones; each of Glen's two brothers and his sister share a day with someone in my family - two of my nephews and my brother.

Today would have been my brother's 61st birthday. He is being missed by many family members today. So, Happy Birthday, dear brother. I love you!

Glen's wonderful sister's birthday is today as well; I won't tell her age. Yesterday morning I was praying for Heather and thanking the Lord for such a wonderful sister. Most people don't get the opportunity to live with their in-laws before the wedding. I had the blessing of having Heather come live with me in Washington, DC, while she did an internship. It was a unique time for us to bond together as sisters before I married her brother. I am so thankful the Lord has blessed us with a great relationship. She is a tremendous woman who loves and fears God. May He richly bless her today! I love you, my dear, sweet sister! Happy Birthday! Here she is with nieces Kiersten and Courtney.
