Birthday...

Forty-eight years ago today, I became a mother. I didn't care whether I had a boy or a girl as long as the baby was healthy. God, in His Infinite Wisdom, gave me a little girl and I named her Jennifer. She was so cute and cuddly and smiled so easily. If I was overwhelmed by motherhood, she calmed my fears. The person in my life that she most reminds me of is my Other Mother, Jean Harriet Bryant. Although Jean is gone, Jennifer embodies her spirit of gentle kindness and concern for others. She has grown into a magnificent woman with features chiseled by her experiences and a heart untouched by the evil in the world. She is my first child, my only daughter, and the light of my life. 
Happy Birthday, Little Girl!!
