One of the happiest days of our lives happened in San Gabriel, California when our daughter Carol was born. Another happy day took place in that same city two years later when our son Allen was born. But this is not about Allen. This is about Carol. Today is her birthday! Notice I'm not saying how old she is. I have picked up on the fact that women don't like that too much!We are missing Carol today. She is in Cambridge, MA. attending a class at Harvard.
We celebrated her birthday early before she left.
When we lived in northern California Carol went three hundred fifty miles away to school at Pepperdine University. We missed her something terrible.
After she graduated and continued to live in Southern California (Whittier) we missed her.
When we moved to Arizona and she continued to live in Southern California--we missed her.
But then one glorious day she and her brother Allen moved to Phoenix and now live about five minutes from us.
God has blessed us with two wonderful children and we are now able to be with them often.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROL!!!
Blessings to you and your children. I would like to be closer to mine also!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when your children live close by. My son is in the Coast Guard and is stationed in Virginia. That is pretty far away from where we are in New England and we miss him.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for your daughter on her birthday.
ReplyDeleteShe looks just like her Mother!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Glad she and her brother now live closer to you and Charlotte.

Awww! Happy Birthday Carol!! I am soo glad you live by your kids.....That is truly a blessing! My mom moved away once....then i had kids and guess what??

LOVE AND BLESSINGS
Wishing Carol a very happy birthday! When my son and dil were going to move to Idaho with my granddaughters, I thought my world would end. I now know what parents feel when their children move far away. My kids did stay here, and I'm so thankful to God for that. It is truly a blessing to have them close, and you have been richly blessed!

Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter! I'm visiting from your wife's blog.
ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty! Looks a lot like Charlotte! You are very blessed to have your children close-by. One of my biggest regrets is that I don't live near my children or grandchildren :-(
