A Special Day for Lisa

Happy Birthday to faraway Ohio where Lisa is celebrating her 32nd birthday tomorrow. It is also Easter Sunday which feels like such an appropriate day for Lisa to have a birthday since she is such a Christlike person.
Lisa, I will always treasure this past week for where we spent time (lots of it!) trying to get a few sewing projects done (especially your quilt.) You picked quilting and sewing up so easily and I know it will be a skill that will bless your life. What a joy it is for me to come and stay where I can see first hand what a wonderful wife, mother and daughter of God you are. I love you dearly and hope you have a special day! We will be thinking of you here at home.

  2. "Lisa, its your birthday...Happy birthday Lisa..." (to quote the great Michael Jackson). Anyways, sounds like you ended up having a fun birthday. We watched that video dad made on Sunday and it was the next best thing to having you there with us. Great footage, especially in the liatard! Anyways, much love from me and my girls, we miss you a ton and hope to see you soon. Love ya!

  3. Lisa,
    I am so grateful for you. So much of who I am and what I enjoy in life was instilled in me by YOU --- because I idolized you at such a young age and wanted to BE you.

    I love your sense of humor. I think you are an exceptional mom. It has been cool for me to see you evolve into that role as a mom. I just love you so much and I appreciate you more than you know! xox Hope you had a great birthday sis,

  6. Lisa Dear,
    Just want you to know that I was thinking about you on your birthday, which is not all that unusual since hardly a day passes that I don't think about you, specifically how much I miss you. You are such an amazing person who has become the parent that I always hoped I would be. You are beautiful, kind, firm, loving, funny, honest and undoubtedly the very best listener on earth. I am grateful everyday to have you in my life. Quite honestly every time I say goodbye to you in Cleveland I walk into the airport with tears streaming down my face like I just watched the ending of "You've Got Mail, Pride and Prejudice, and Enchanted" all at the same time. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks. Just know that I love you and I am so very, very proud of the type of person you have become. Love you sis.

    Dad
