I have a very hard time dealing with the fact I have no children at home. My happiest times were when my children were young and I was attempting to be supermom. Granted, it was hard... but, oh how I miss it.
My beautiful, amazing, strong, loving, forgiving, wonderful daughter, turns 28 years old today. She's my fourth child and only girl. How I thank God for her!
She listens when the words are hard for me and struggles through my tears with patience, compassion and understanding.
She has provided me with two of my wonderful granddaughters, "Twink" & "Tink" and allows me the opportunity to share my love.
She has a much greater ability to forgive, than I do. (she obviously inherited that from her Daddy)
She has a strength about her that I do not possess. (must get that from Daddy, too)
She refuses to let the bad times keep her down... and she's had some bad times and her share of heartache.
Baby Girl, and yes, I can still call you my baby girl, because no matter how old you get, you will always be my baby... I Love You and wish you a very Happy Birthday!
Since my photo app and MP Navigator still aren't available, I'll have to post a couple of pictures I swiped off my MySpace. Wish I was able to put some other ones on here, but I'm afraid they will have to wait.

She is so gorgeous! Happy Birthday!
I know how time slips away...tell her Happy Birthday from me.
What a lovely girl. You are blessed woman!
This is sooo sweet. What a cutie. You are such a cool mom. I mean, the idea that you even blog and have adult kids is cool. My mom can hardly figure out how to navigate Facebook and thinks email is for forwarding unfunny crap and warning everyone about urban legends.

Sounds to me like you have a daughter to be proud of...I hope you will will wish her a happy birthday from all of us here in the blogoshpere as well... :)
A beautiful post! Happy birthday Ebbie!
Hugs to you both,
Robyn
How sweet! What a wonderful mother you are! She is beautiful! Happy Birthday, Ebbie.
That made me cry! She is lovely. Oh how I cherish this time with my little girls - it goes by so fast. I don't want it to end - ever!!!!
Although, i did move next door to my parents, so maybe I will get lucky and my girls will live close!
Better yet, maybe I will not tell them that picking their noses is bad - then they will NEVER get married :-)
Your daughter is gorgeous.
Wow. Very cute pictures. And thanks for the insight into what my mom might be thinking since I left.
What a beautiful girl!! And I bet she gets THAT from her mother.
Happy Birthday to your Daughter, I can see you are proud of her and those Grandbabies, that is so cool.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
May God bless and keep you always. May your wishes all come true. May you always do for others. And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars. And climb on every rung. May you stay...
forever young.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Just wanted to let everyone know she read her birthday post and your comments, with tears in her eyes. She was very touched.
Thank you for contributing to her 28th birthday memories!
Welll I feel very honored to share my birthday with your lovely daughter! As the little Italian boy said to Lucy...."It's a my a birthday too!!!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSIE!!!"
Happy Belated Birthday Ms. A's daughter! Tell your Mom I think she has a beautiful daughter!!!
This is so sweet. What a good mom you are!
Happy Birthday to your lovie daughter! I think you might be too hard on yourself, though, girl. I'm sure a lot of her wonderful traits come from you, too!
Enjoy your weekend.
Hope your memories are only a little bitter-sweet!
That was a sweet post! Happy birthday to her!
P.S. Four kids! Ack! You never told me you were superhuman!
Kristy, I'm nowhere near superhuman. Heck, I'm not even close to supernormal, either.
OKay my blogging bud.....we need some new words of wisdom from our favorite sarcastic Granny!
Your anything but sensible blogging bud.
(I told that child's mother today what she said and she laughed and laughed. Her daughter loves to use big words at home. Seems Grandma is training her...
VKT, Thanks, I'll try to get something semi-coherent together soon.
That little girl reminds me of one of my granddaughters. She was the same way and used to amaze us with her vocabulary.
I am on the verge of not having any children at home and I can already tell I am not going to like it.
Lovely, lovely tribute to your daughter!
Betty, Thank you. Good luck with the empty nest. I personally hate it!
Nice pictures. Best wishes to your daughter for a wonderful birthday. I know what it feels like to have all the kids grown and starting their own families.
TechnoBabe, Thanks for the wishes and for stopping by. The only advantage to the my kids being grown and gone is the grandkids.
Ah! So sweet! Can't comment...will cry!
Andrea, crying is welcome here!
What a very sweet, sweet letter! Your daughter is beautiful!
