A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever

It's been a long time since you came into our lives, but all of the memories that matter, since then, are good ones.  When you were born, we had just moved from Nebraska.  I had no job, and things were pretty grim. 

All of my negative feelings disappeared the first time I saw you.  You filled our hearts with love and wonder, and have been doing that ever since.  Within 3 weeks of your birth, I was working where I spent 37 years, and things have been improving steadily ever since.  You've constantly filled your Mother's and my hearts with joy.

You, your boys, and your husband never fail to lift our spirits with your great attitude, and a personality that makes every one who meets you love you.

Sandra Joy, you truly are.

Happy Birthday.
