May your life be full of YES!
YES to lauging loud and proud, YES to knowing your worth, YES to sisters lifting each other up, YES to being seen, YES to becoming everything you were destined to be!
Happy Birthday

You can be whatever you wish to be. You can do whatever you wish to do.
You are your ancestors' wildest dream come true.

Life is full of obstacles, roadblocks of every size, and right now your road appears to be completely fertilized...
Although it all may seem too much for a body to endure, I know you're made of stronger stuff than any pile of manure.
So while you're wading through it, you've got one important task. Take it all in stride, and remember... "This poo shall pass."

Older?
There is no older. There are only more layers of perfection.

It's been a good ride, my trail's at its end, but don't you worry about me, my friend...
With the Lord by my side, I'm riding in glory; I'm at peace on the path that He laid out before me.
Take comfort in knowing we will meet again where Earth's trail ends, and forever begins.
With prayers and sympathy at this difficult time.

Everything she was, she will always be...
Kind, brave, strong, and above all, loving.
Her love lives on in you...
May it speak to you gently in quiet times, reminding you that you are never alone.
May it bring comfort and sustain you through times of tears...
May it shine through you as a beautiful legacy of the light she brought to this world.

For the Man I Love on Father's Day
There are no words great enough to express how much you mean to me, or to thank you for giving so much of yourself to the ones you love.
Our lives are full in every way, but no matter how busy you are or how many demands you're facing, you always manage to make me feel special, important, and cherished.
Today as we celebrate all the ways you are an amazing father, I want you to know that I'm grateful every day to have you in my life.

Oh, give me a zone where there ain't no cell phones and the service is way out of range...
Where the only tweet heard is the song of a bird, and the internet's down all day!
Hope you're in the zone for a relaxing and Happy Birthday
