Happy Birthday Beautiful Daughter!

This
pretty
young
woman...
is
our
daughter,
Maria.


Sometimes
I
look
at
her
and
am
amazed
by
her
beauty.




Her loveliness goes way beyond what you can see in this photo, though, because it shines outward from her heart. She has such a determined sense of kindness and caring, she brightens this world! She is known for her artistic eye and creative talent. She teaches and shares her skills with others, pointing them toward their full potential as well.

To watch her mother her two little girls is pure joy for me. She mothers with a wonderful mixture of wisdom and gentleness. Her sweet girls are lucky children to have such a mother.

I will always be grateful that I was given the gift of mothering her.

I am so proud of our daughter, and today is her birthday!

Happy Birthday, Maria! I love you so much!

"Her sweet girls are lucky children to have such a mother."

And she was lucky to have such a mother as you to learn from and to pass the mothering skills on!

So...happy birth day to you, Sue (you did the work that day), and Happy Birthday to lovely Maria. You are a blessing.

What a wonderful tribute. She's good people, that Maria of yours. (Not that I know her incredibly well, lol, but what I do know I can't see any room for improvement.)

I love to observe Maria's thoughtful tender mothering skills. Yes, those little girls are lucky but I can say the same for Maria. She learned her mothering skills at home as a child.

I learned all of my mothering from you mom!

Sue said...

Thanks, Michelle.

Sue said...

Yep, Kate, she is!

Susie said...

And you know where I learned mine!
