And of course - greatest gift of all - was your amazing energy at the birthing of my beautiful baby, who'll be 22 next month. Love you!

But since I don't have that, I chose what I call the 'cow in the swamp' method of birth. Like our cattle, I went off alone to give birth, (though I chose the hospital, not the swamp)and reappeared with my offspring afterwards. Not a word to anyone, I let them all think I went to work as usual.<BR/>Your daughter is lucky, no 'cow in the swamp' techniques will be needed. I envy that.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480620826533766940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-12114569620376541612009-02-06T12:49:00.000-05:002009-02-06T12:49:00.000-05:00Mama, from the moment you pushed me out into this ...Mama, from the moment you pushed me out into this world, I have been shown over and over what true strength, trust, and love is. So much so that I haven't even had to think about it, if that makes any sense. Oh, plus a good sense of humor, you certainly have shown us that.<BR/><BR/>It's getting warmer, so enjoy the pretty day!honeylunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528514781592213251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-81388783159851199962009-02-06T12:47:00.000-05:002009-02-06T12:47:00.000-05:00May and I think dad should call the bar the Glen D...May and I think dad should call the bar the Glen Den.
