Happy Birthday Dorothy

Or

as my friends now call you- mother of newbaby 2010, ver.4.0.

Honey, I knew you were special many years ago

when J.W. said "I have a new friend, her name is Dorothy, and she is really nice".

Before I met you, I knew that you

looked at people with compassion.

When JEFF met you, he came home

and said he had met an amazing girl.

When I met you, I knew both

of my boys were right.

I have watched you grow from a lovely young lady

into a wonderful woman.

You are a perfect match for my son

and a terrific mother.

You are the daughter I never had and also one of my

dearest friends.

I am so proud to have you in my family.

I love you honey.

Happy, happy birthday!

P.s. I knew Jeff would like this photo-hehe.

Happy Birthday Dorothy!

Oh my, this is an old photo (Jayde will soon be 9).
My precious girl really does not like having her picture taken.


Dorothy, you have been part of my life for the past 11 years.
A fantastic part of my life.

You have touched us all with your love and spirit.
I have watched you become a wonderful wife to my son and a fabulous mother to my 3 granddaughters.

You are a treasured friend and the daughter I never had.
I am so blessed to have you in my life.

I know things are difficult right now but you are handling everything like a pro.
I am so proud of you!

I just want you to know how much I love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!
