As of today, four-fifths of our family has officially entered adulthood. One to go. He driving, so it won't be long.
Shellie is 21.
Not possible.
I can still see her standing in her little yellow boots wearing that shy little smile.
21.
She's been student teaching this semester at Joliet Central. Teaching math. Never saw that one coming. I knew she would teach, but math? Where'd that come from? Certainly neither parent!
Time for a Birthday Top Ten List--
Number Ten
Tea Cup Pig. Say it Shell, please?
Number Nine
How many dads/pastors get to be led into God's presence through the voice of their little girl?
Number Eight
Your creative flair has really matured. Your works of crafting art are real masterpieces, and bring us great joy.
Number Seven
You're holding out for the right guy. He'll come.
Who knows, you may even already know him! No matter what, God made him just for you. It is also fine by me if he waits a decade to show up.
Number Six
I wish I had your discipline, your drive, your determination, your persistence. I can only imagine what my life might have been if God gave me your tenacity.
Number Five
You're going to be a great mom! I can't wait to meet your kids. No rush. Husband first.
Number Four
Thanks for being patient with me. Projects don't always get finished as fast as I know you would like. BTW...The mirror looks great!
Number Three
Can't wait to share this year's Christmas present with you! Thanks again. Great idea!
Number Two
Tea Cup Pig. Say it again, please?
Number One
When I had a son, I became a dad. When I had a daughter, I became a man. Thanks for making me the man I am!
I love you sweet baby...
