HAPPY BIRTHDAY #1 DAUGHTER!

Happy Birthday, Camille!  What a blessing to be with Camille on her birthday!  As I take a moment to reflect back on the past 26 years, I think of how much we ALL love Camille!  She is an absolute Ray of Sunshine in my day.  As she walks around and sings a song-sometimes a "Real" song and some "Unique Camille" compositions about almost everything in her life, I smile.  She is laughing and lauding it over Adam that today she gets to boss him around and make all the choices.  She has stopped what she was doing and fed Henry whenever he makes the demand.  Her needs are simple and demands minimal.  For her birthday, she asked to take a walk, sit in the sunshine and take a long shower before dinner out with her hubby.  No "Big Trips or Huge Pricey Gifts"-she enjoys the simple pleasures.

Why do we all love Camille so much--because she loves us all so well.  Uncomplicated and down to earth as they come-you get what you see with her.  She is interested in our lives and relishes a good talk while making you feel like such an important part of her life.  Truth be known-we are all important to her and she does care about our lives-Deeply.

One of my greatest accomplishments has been birthing this child and then participating in rearing her to adulthood.  She is a Rare Jewel.  One of the few people that I know who is totally at peace with just who she is and relishes every moment of the day.  If only we all could be so satisfied with the blessing that God has showered upon us.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Camille-  we are all lucky to have you in our lives-but Henry-----OH, HENRY---how very lucky he is to have you as his Mommie!

I hope you know how much your daughter has blessed my life these past two years here in Erie. I hope our friendship lasts even after med-school. Thanks for raising an amazing daughter who loves the Lord and loves people so well.
