Today I’m 32. This message from my mom was waiting for me in my inbox this morning.
If you look out your door this morning and can scarcely see across the street, imagine the snow about ten times heavier. That is the weather I watched from the window of the delivery room as I lay at 5:03 p.m. 32 years ago today, trying to focus on the snow instead of the pain I was experiencing. I was waiting for the doctor to arrive to deliver you, Ottawa had come to a halt due to the weather. I swear Ame, it’s like it was last week; it is that clear in my mind’s eye. I pushed like a maniac and then hearing no cry, I asked them if you were alright, “is she all normal?” They held you high in the air and I caught my first glimpse of one of the two greatest gifts I’ll ever receive. I marvelled at how perfect you were and the blessings you brought to my life. I still do.
Happy Birthday Amy!!!!!
I hope you have a fabulous day. That letter from your mom made me wish she was my mom too!
See you soon friend.
That’s lovely – my mother would never say anything so nice!! I was born in Ottawa 31.5 years ago but of course there would have been no snow storm in July. Well, not likely to have been, you never know with Ottawa.
Happy birthday.
i love your mom. does she want to adopt me?
happy birthday!
I love your mom too! While I think my mom feels this way…she’d never actually write it down and send it to me….that’s the part I love most!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (I’m not screamin’)
