The BEST birthday present ever!

The sun wasn't even up yet. First morning light was coming in through the sliders in the bedroom. I can hear the pitter-pat of her little feet as she runs from her room to ours. I force my eyes open to see her big hazel eyes sparkling in the darkness, the biggest smile ever, and to hear her say, in a whisper, "Happy Birthday Mommy!" My heart just melted. I reached over to wrap my arms around her and pulled her up onto the bed with us and she completely abandoned all resistance and melted into a full body hug with mommy! Thank you, Daddy, for giving me this perfect gift, four years ago. And for the athletic gear to wear when training for this 60 mile walk and to support my goal of being in better shape! I love my family and I am BLESSED!
