Happy Birthday, Miss Ashley

• today Miss Ashley turned 19
• what a wonderful day as I
• remember her birth day
• it was much warmer than our day
• was here today--
• and we were so excited
• we were allowed to go into
• the birth room with her mommy
• they set it up for papa hubby to be there
• very private for mom and yet he could
• be there
• to see what God had done
• **papa hubby went home with the angels
• in the same room
• that Tammy, (mommy)
• labored to give birth to
• Miss Ashley
• she had a easy labour and we
• were able to be with her from
• the beginning to the end==
• papa was a better coach than Oma
• Oma was a basket case--LOL
• Ashley was a wonder baby
• and lived at our house for 5 years
• and returned to us last spring
• when papa hubby was so sick
• she was wonderful to him
• and was a gentle nurse grand-daughter
• she could hear better than me
• during the night and would be
• flying by Oma like an angel
• if she heard an odd sound
• from Papa's room
• today is bittersweet
• and we both had a smile and a tear
• about papa hubby not being here
• this year - I found her some gifts
• but it was harder shopping alone
• as papa always had good imput
• and was more willing to over-spend(wink)
• Happy Birthday, Miss Ashley
