30 years... Where, have they gone.

Happy Birthday...

to our

Youngest Daughter, Liz.

oh...my.

Liz...has been such a Gift, in our lives.

<3

She was my 'Sidekick'...

until, she was...about...12.

Then, she didn't want much...to do, with me... Junkin'...or at Home.

{I, was Heartbroken. }

then, at about...20, she came back.: )

{I did the same thing. : )
My Dad, said... one of the saddest days...of his life...

was, when I didn't 'Need'...him, anymore. : ( }

{What, Dad...didn't know, is...I needed Him...Always. : )

Still...do. <3 }

John and me...were, and are...so Proud...of her.

<3 <3 <3 

When John...left us, three years ago...

oh...my.

I, don't know...how I could have went on...without Liz...

She, was...soooo... Broken...too.
: ( : ( : (

Losing her Dad.

: ( : ( : ( 

Somehow...
we held each other...up.

Losing Peg...last year, knocked us down...more...

Liz, and Peg...were close, too.

: ( : ( : (

I've watched Liz....and, have Admired her.

She's such...a Great Mom, to Miss. Scarlett.

{and, Little Jack, now. : ) }

She's been through Hell, and Back...fighting, for Scarlett....these last two years.

Fighting...to Survive.

Liz, has helped me... hang on.

She's Worked Her Tail Off, beside me...

Pulling The Shop.....Shows, and Estate Sales....together.

Drivin'...Miles...and Miles... following, in The Ford.

{Loading...Unloading...Loading...Helping, set...Booth...after...Booth. }

oh my.

{then, working at night, bar tending. }

I, don't know...what I would have done...without her.

She and John, were Tight.

: )

I'm so Glad....they were Close.

There, Truly...is Nothing, like a Father's Love....for a Daughter.

I, was Blessed, to have had a Dad...who, Loved, and...believed...in me. 

That's...a Priceless...Gift, that lasts...your Entire....life.

<3 <3 <3

This, is a Milestone.

30 Years.

: )

oh my.

My 30th...was the worst.

Liz, is struggling with it...too. 

: )

When I turned 30... 

I hit the road, and drove...all day.

I realized, {Holy Crap! I can't be 'Stupid'...Anymore!!!}

 'I'm not a Kid anymore. Time, to Grow Up!'

well...

that 'feeling' didn't last long.

: )

I, realized...not much, had truly....changed.

Yes, like always...we have to work...hard.

but, 

giving up...

'Playin' Hard'...

isn't an option.

 No Matter, what the Calendar, says.

: )

When ya...Bust Your Butt....

there has to be a little, Fun...too. : )

Seeing our Baby...turn 30, is...a little tuff.

Only, because...it's difficult, to understand...how these Years...have flown by, so Fast.

Guess...I blinked.

: (

{I'm a little nervous...about the next 30. : ) at....Warp Speed!}

: )

More, reason...

to enjoy...every day, every....moment.

Tomorrow...isn't promised, to any of us.

Here are a few images...

of my Beautiful...

Beautiful...

'Daughter'

'Sidekick'

'Friend'

'Blessing'

Gift,

 from God...

 to me...and John.

<3 <3 <3




I, posted the video...of Miss. Scarlett, Liz...and me, singing my Mom's favorite Tune....above.
It was the last, song...my Mom, and I sang...just before...She...went Home.
I'll...be Forever...Thankful, for the 'Sunshine'...in my life.
: )
'Moms'...and, 'Daughters'... <3 : )
I'm Proud, of Liz....from Top...to Bottom. : ) <3
but...
I'm...mostly, Proud...of my Daughter....
for Being...
The Best 'Mom'... I've ever seen.
She's....such, a Wonderful... Mother, to her Children. <3
Priceless.
 : )

Liz, Scarlett...and, Jack. <3 <3 <3

Dad, Adam....
and Jack.

<3
Priceless....

That's....

My

Girl.
