Joyous Birthday Wishes

This day, 14 years ago, I gave birth to my second child. For three days, this daughter of mine remained nameless, Wes and I struggling to agree on a fitting name. Finally, when the time came to fill out the official birth certificate form, we negotiated an agreement: Abigail-"my father's joy"- agreeable only if the middle name was Faith.

Wes was convinced our baby girl would not like the name Abigail, and thought Faith was a great back up name for when she expressed this inevitable disdain.

It's funny now to imagine calling our sweet Abbee "Faith." Our sweet Abbee who now stands 5' 8 1/2" tall and is too old to be comfortable with my disclosing her weight!

The grin she carried plastered upon her face as a toddler is still intact. It blesses me daily.

Abigail has lived up to the name that spoke of joy. She not only delights the heart of her father, but fills her mother's heart as well. This joy bundled up in one Abigail Faith is contagious! Her laughter often erupts, lifting a mundane day and spreading to all those around her.

Happy birthday, my precious Abigail Faith! May your fourteenth year be extraordinary as you continue to mature into the beautiful young lady God is shaping. And may the joy you exude continue to bless all who are privileged experience it!

    I don't prefer to add people I am relationship to FB or Twitter but occasionally it is unavoidable. It is tough to possess a DJ title for so long and be "ungoogle-able". How I keep away from this getting an issue is the fact that I'm like
    you in the feeling which i usually speak about
    my mixtapes or crack jokes. I used to be on Twitter prior to
    Fb and i do most of my networking there. I only joined Fb as a result of family members but I found I grew to become really picky about
    who I need to include there. My family may be nuts and although
    I'm positive I'm not adopted, I don't desire a possible mate to find out that prior to necessary.
