50 YEARS AGO........

Once upon a time in a land far away (Savannah Georgia) on Wednesday, October 28th 1959, two awesome parents brought in to this world a 5 1/4 pound baby girl. (I am sure she looked like a princess) She was two weeks late, there was a storm coming in when she was actually due that was being named Hurrican Grace, if she had been born during that storm her mom said she would have been named GRACE!! Trust me I know this little girl and she is definitely not a GRACE!! 50 years later around October 14th 2009 another storm was coming in to that part of the country and they named her GRACE!!! Any way.... mom and dad brought their little girl home to her wonderful brothers, one of which slapped his mom when he saw her. But, I am sure they soon were both overwhelmed with happiness and joy to have this adoreable little sister. Through the years, they grew together, laughed, played and even fought. In fact, I think this sweet little girl may have tattled on them once or twice!! OOPS!! They moved lots of times because of the military. Finally, they settled in Idaho. Soon, the boys(her bubbies), grew up and fell in love and moved away. However, it brought two sister in laws and nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews that have touched her life. Now the little girl was all alone with her mom and dad, rumor has it she was spoiled, or maybe spoiled rotten. But, if you asked her she would say "I don't think so..." ( with a smile and a grin on her face). Soon she too fell in love with a wonderful man named Brian. They had dreams of their own now. Then 2 years later a little girl was born, The Circle was complete........... During these 50 years, I have made life long friends, I have seen sad things and great and wonderful things. I have lost loved ones and some of those life long friends. I miss my mom most today and thank her for giving me life. Today, on this 50th birthday, it is definitely not my favorite, but, I am grateful to my Heavenly father for allowing me to have the experiences of this world and especially for all those people who have been a part of my world.
