Happy Birthday, M !

Today my darling granddaughter, M, turns 3!  Where has the time gone?  As her mother says, she is a proper little girl now - no longer a struggling toddler.  And the joy and love I feel in my heart for her grows along with her!

I remember the day she was born.  As my daughter placed her in my arms, I gazed down at her and thought, "She looks so familiar.  And I didn't have to do anything!"  No pregnancy, no morning sickness, no childbirth.  And here was this tiny creature, who so resembled her mother and two aunts.  And all I had to do was hold her and love her.

So Happy Birthday, Little Miss - as your English Grandad calls you.  Thank you for bringing pure, absolute joy into my life.  You are truly a gift!
