Happiest of Birthdays to you!
When you joined our family you opened our hearts in ways you don’t know. My only regret is that Dad never got to know you in person. He would have enjoyed watching the grandkids mature and he would have been egging them on in their funny antics. But you. He would have been head over heels with you. He would have loved listening to you talk about your parents and your family life in Bolivia. He would have hung on each and every word.
But, back to me. The way you accepted me into your family and friend circle has been so heart warming. I so love spending time with you and watching you with Ricky. Your teasing and love for each other is amazing and my heart is so happy that you two found each other. And I am just as thrilled that I have someone like you to confide in and laugh with and yes, sometimes cry with.
I could not possibly list all of the ways you have enriched my life and brought a spark back into our family. Just suffice it to say, you are so very special to me and I love you oh so much. I wish the best year ahead for you. And thank you for allowing me to be a part of your happiness, and sometimes even sadness – the fun dinners and parties and conversations. Not sure how I would have survived the past couple of years without you. And the love you have for my son, amplifies the feelings I have for you.
Happy Birthday, my beautiful and loving daughter. How lucky I am to have you in my life.
Love, Mom

I have several of Thomas Parks Masonic manuals with some of his writing in them. Wondered if you are interested in them. Their time with me is coming to an end. Thanks, Dean

If you still have any, I will check with my son. He handles all of the genealogy for the family. Jeffry is a little computer nerd!
