5/14 -- If Today is Your Birthday...



...If today is your birthday, it's written in the clouds...

...If today is your birthday, you are My Awesome Husband Greg's oldest sister, and sometimes you really did get to be the boss of him!





...If today is your birthday, you are one of the people who make family gatherings run so smoothly because of your knack for organization and your ability to make people feel at home.





...If today is your birthday, you also make family gatherings delicious because of your mad cooking skills!





...If today is your birthday, you did a wonderful job of raising your two beautiful daughters, and now you are reaping your rewards in your grandchildren. (And I just know that you and Lew are awesome granparents!)





...If today is your birthday, I have so many memories of our "early years," double-dating, weddings, waiting first for Erin, then Meagan to come along...All of those after-dinner bike rides downtown to Baskin-Robbins, first with big pregnant bellies, then with baby seats behind us...





...If today is your birthday, I love visiting your home whenever we get back to Michigan. It -- and the people who live there -- truly define "Family." I'm so glad to be part of yours!





Happy Birthday, Deb!





Have a wonderful day -- we love you!
