July 23 -- If Today is Your Birthday...


Hilma with Papa Leo, Davison, Michigan, Summer 2008 (Greg Fischer)

...If today is your birthday, you are my Awesome Husband Greg's mother, and I adore you. Getting you as a mother-in-law was a big fat bonus prize I won for marrying Greg!

...If today is your birthday, you have always been there for us -- when we needed help, when we needed words of kindness and encouragement, when we needed someone to share our tears, and when we wanted someone to share our joy and laughter.

...If today is your birthday, in fact, you have brought us much joy and laughter yourself with your zest for life and your eagerness to try new things!

...If today is your birthday, you have a wonderful, generous heart, as evidenced by your long career as a nurse. You came from a large, loving family, and you have cultivated a large family of friends who love you. (No wonder!)

...If today is your birthday, I would want you for a friend, even if we weren't family by marriage. I thank God every day for the blessing that you are!

...If today is your birthday, I hope you enjoy every single minute of it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILMA -- WE ALL LOVE YOU!
