16 Sweet Reasons To Birthday
Two days ago, Aunt Ruth posted reasons she would "birthday" upon completing her 50th year. Today, as my daughter Emma Ruth has her own day, I thought I would share some of the reasons to celebrate her 16th year:16. She's in the middle of two other sisters, like the frosting of an oreo cookie or the bologna in the sandwhich
15. Beautiful smile
14. Fun to be around
13. Sweet
12. Incredibly talented
11. Bouncy (even when not cheering at varsity football games)
10. Committed to her friends
9. Hard worker, even when she doesn't feel like it
8. Encourager
7. Compassionate
6. Lives life to the fullest
5. Loves her family, no matter where they are
4. Is true to herself
3. Is passionate about what she believes
2. Loves God
And the #1 reason....I really don't need any of these reasons to celebrate her. I just love her. That's reason enough! No matter how old she gets or how far away she lives, she'll always be my irreplaceable Emma Ruth.
BIRTHDAY
ALL
DAY,
EMMA!!
WE LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMMA!
Shari --
You should have told me this would be a Kleenex moment! The "mom" in me, and the "grandma" in me, just simply cannot express the plethora of emotions running throughout my being at this moment. Everything about this post is so beautiful, so accurate.....and the #1 reason is priceless!! WOW!! Love you so much, honey! Mom
Happy Sweet Sixteen Birthday, Emma!
