Happy Birthday, Sam!

Before the clock runs out on this day, I need to take a minute out and wish my baby girl a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was seven years ago today that I was blessed with the arrival of my oldest daughter, Samantha. Although I was "on the fence" regarding having children at that time, I am SO thankful for Sam and her sister!

I remember all of the details so vividly. . .I was the first to hold her. I carried her to a seperate room where they took her footprints and also pricked her foot for blood work; first time I heard her cry! My Mom (Whom I would lose 18 months later) arriving to see her for the first time. My mother-in-law and I looking for places to smoke (I quit 2 years later, for Sam, after 24 years of smoking).

This photo is from our appearance at the father/daughter dance a few weeks ago:

Sam had a great time dancing and running around with her friends that night, and, in addition to a few dances with her, I had the added pleasure of having Rep. Win Moses join us at our table. It was an enjoyable evening for us both.

Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

John - You went from being a "wild child" to a very gentle, kind, loving Father and Husband.

Wanna change all that? Ha! Ha!; title="comment permalink">February 25, 2007 10:15 AM
