So here we are - 29 years later

Hard to believe that Andi turns 29 today.  10,593 days.  Wow. That's a lot of days to love someone.  If I could bottle this kid's DNA and sell it, I would be a gazillionare, because you just can't do better than this kid. 

She is a joy. She loves life with every part of her being. She's funny and quirky.  She's dorky and she's quite into adventure -- all my favorite qualities rolled into one person.  She is an amazing mom, an awesome wife and just the sort of person you would want for your best friend.   And I am the lucky one that God blessed when he said, "Here's your daughter."

The last 15 months since she got sick were downright horrible on a lot of days, but she never gave up wanting to be better, not only for herself, but for her family. So not only do I thank God daily for the honor of being her mom, but I've also been thanking Him that she is feeling so much better and able to enjoy her life again.

Happy Birthday, baby.  Momma loves you.
