Since she is living away from home this summer we ended up celebrating yesterday with her by going to Woodlands - probably one of her favourite summer spots. (it's an outdoor restaurant that serves the best soft serve ice-cream)
So of course, I called her today to wish her a 'Happy Birthday' and told her again just how proud I am of her. During one of her classes at Heritage the prof stated that we (people in general) tend to be proud of the "what" our kids do, and not the "who" our kids are.
To Krystle:
There are so many things to say and yet as I pause to think of you, I fill up with tears at the love that overflows from my heart. Our first child and only girl - you have so many gifts: your desire to serve God with all your heart, soul & mind; the talent you exhibit at playing the piano; your creative genius; the ambition you have for higher education; your willingness to help others; and the fact that you love me unconditionally even though I've made my share of mistakes are just a few of the reasons I love you.
I know I've said this many times and it's probably tiresome, but I am SO proud of you and am honoured to have you call me mom.
Happy Birthday Kryssi!
Blessings
