July 17

Today is Dionne’s birthday. How is it possible that 27 years have gone by since that early morning when I gave birth to my daughter?

I suppose all lives have life-changing moments but I can’t imagine a mother on earth that doesn’t count the birth of her children as the greatest of them all.

I was just an ordinary person but I did something miraculous----I created two human beings. And in doing so, it’s a toss-up who received the greatest gift. I may have given my children life, but they, in turn, are the treasures of my life.

Happy birthday Dionne.
