Happy Day to Aubrey


Happy Birthday to Aubrey! How do you tell your oldest child how grateful you are for them? How do you tell them to what degree you admire them for surviving your parenting? I think when the oldest child stands at the judgement bar they will be given an extra bright halo for having led the way. A bright halo for having led their parents in learning how to parent and led their siblings in how to be a kid. Aubrey has been a beautiful woman to have as a daughter. She was born with a wise spirit to teach me how to be a better mom. I will always be grateful for her and her forgiveness of my shortcomings. Thank you Aubrey for being so loving to me and your dad.

OH, Aubreay really is the Angel in this family, she is the one that will hold us all together as we get older. She is always just a phone call away willing to help in what ever is being asked, driving miles and miles to watch kids, get lunch for G.G. and then playing countless games. I love you Aubrey and Happy Birthday.

Mom that is such a sweet post. We are so lucky to have Aubrey as the leader of the fam. She really is the glue that holds all of the pieces together. Our lives wouldn't be the same without her.
