Today is Elizabeth's birthday - 26 years old today! Elizabeth is my first-born child and we share a special relationship. She is not only my daughter, but one of my best friends. She saved my life by giving me the courage, when I discovered I was pregnant, to leave a marriage in which I had suffered four years of abuse. I was a single parent for eight years and she and I are very close - I'm sure partly as a result of the experiences that only she and I shared.
To tell you how great she is - she and her husband, Michael, rearranged things this week so that they could stay the entire week with us. Elizabeth has been an amazing help to me in caring for my Mom and in helping me prepare for my Mother's passing!
I thank God daily for my children and I thank Him for the wonderful, loving, Christian woman that Elizabeth has become! My life would be very different without her and I'm glad I will never know what that life would have been!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for all that you are and for all that you do for me. I love you.
