Kerry’s Birthday!

DSCF1901My family, I thank you for a very special and memorable birthday. I thank you Kory for the sincere card with heartfelt words, for the “Beautiful” perfume, for the cake with the number “24”, for dinner at 5&Diner, but mostly for loving me unconditionally, for continually going out of your way to show me your love through your words and actions, for your patience, and for the gift of my family. Katie and Lauren, I thank you for the love you showed me today and for serving me with a humble heart. Katie, you touched me with your kindness throughout the day in so many little ways. You sang to me, made me a card with a pretty pink ribbon tied on it, and you created for me that showed truly how you care about me.

Katie, the way you opened your heart to me today reminded me of actress Sally Field when she won best actress many years ago. As she held up her Oscar, she cried out “you love me, you really love me”. Katie, I felt like joyfully shouting that today because you showed me over and over that you love me, you really love me. This display of your love was an answer to many prayers. Lauren, in your card to me you wrote “I really truly love you, I want you to know that”. Oh, sweet precious Lauren, those words melted my heart. I truly love you too. God chose me to be a wife and another mom to this family and I am honored to fulfill this calling. Thank you all for an outstanding birthday!
