Happy Birthday Lacy

Happy Birthday Baby Girl,

25 years old I can't believe it ! I truly don't know where the time has gone. I woke up at 8:00am this morning right at the time you were born. You were such a quiet baby. You would lay there with those big blue eyes open, taking it all in. Thinking and day dreaming from the very start.

Of course you didn't have to say a lot, because you had your big brother for that. He was your protector and your spokesman. I would say, "Lacy do you want a sucker?" and he would answer, "Yes, she does !" I'd tell him, "Let her say it." Then I would ask you again, but you would just look at him and nod your little blond head. Finally when you did start talking, you could speak in sentences and boy did you talk !!!!!!!! Especially on the phone, I remember one time when I was studying and I hadn't heard you for a little while, so I went to see what you were doing. You were on the phone with Grandma (I had shown you how to speed dial her number) When I took the phone she asked me, "Where have you been? I've been trying to get her to give you the phone, but she just keeps saying, wait just a minute." You had found someone to listen and you had a lot to say!

There are no words to describe my constant longing to hear your voice again. Every time I see a full moon, a puppy or kitten, a new pair of shoes, an outfit, the snow, the sunshine, a flower, the trees in bloom, a sunset, a baby, a new car, a snow cone, a new movie, or something Brylee has done, I tell you every detail. If only I could hear your response...

I had somewhat gotten used to not seeing you everyday after you moved out on your own, but you were always a phone call away & I could hear your voice. Of course when you were pregnant and then after Brylee came, we would talk 3 or 4 times a day. Sometimes we would talk for hours, sometimes just a few seconds, but I could always tell how you were just by your voice. We became closer than ever during those months, I am so thankful that we had that time.

I'm so sorry that I didn't call you back to tell you, "I love you and everything is going to be fine." Now I have to wait until I get to Heaven to hear you say, "I love you too..."

Forever Your MOM
(Grammy)
