mother’s day weekend 2013
♥
Today, June 14th,
is my girl’s birthday.
Since the first moment I held her
and gazed into her eyes
when I was just eighteen,
she’s been as constant in my life as the stars.
I wonder if she realizes
how much she has enriched my life,
how proud I am of her and
how happy I am to be her mom, because
she is more than a daughter to me.
She is my friend.
♥
Happy Birthday,
** Denise **

How nice of you to say, Kath. Both of my children mean the world to me and I can’t imagine a life without them in it. Of course I’m sure you and most moms feel the same way. 🙂

I love it! I think it’s changed a few times, has it? Always scared to comment because I follow so many blogs I’m not always sure! Orange is bold, extroverted and social, so yes, it suits you!

Yes, I’m always trying something new, but I really like this one. It looks so fresh. 🙂
As for being extroverted, I am online I guess, but not so much in real life!

I think introverts have a little bit of extroversion (did I make that word up?) and vice versa. 🙂
