Thank You Mom and Dad

Every year, my parents send me the most beautiful sentimental Birthday cards in the mail.  And every year their cards never fail to bring tears to my eyes.  And it's not just what comes pre-written in the card, but also what is written by them in the card. 

But would you like to hear something really funny?  It's my DAD who goes out to buy the cards!  LOL!  Usually it's the MOM's who goes out and picks the sweet ones, but for me ... it's my one and only DAD.  :)  I mean, I know it comes from BOTH of their hearts ... but I have to laugh when I think about my Dad in the Hallmark aisle browsing through cards and finding just the PERFECT one.  :)

Well, this is a card I've entered into Whiff of Joy Challenge using Jane's lovely sketch.  Thank you Jane for this sketch, and this card will go out in the mail to my one and only mom and dad.  :)

Let me share with you a card that they have so lovingly given me.  It says:

"For a Special Daughter"

You'll Always Have My Love

There are so many gifts

I want for you on your birthday ....

I'd like to give you the gift of wisdom,

but that's something

only the passing years can bring.

I'd like to give you the gift of success,

but that's something

that only has true value

if it is earned.

I'd like to give you the gift of happiness,

but the path that leads you there

is one you must find on your own.

But there is one gift

that I can give you today

that will always be with you -

and that's my love.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Now ... okay, to be honest, tears welling in my eyes is not even beginning to say how I cried.  To be truthful, I BAWLED like a little kid and my heart just melted.  LOL!
