Thanksgiving day was extra special this year, because it was also my daughter, Helena's, birthday. She is now nineteen. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed! I have so many memories of those years... and most of them good. It makes me happy to know that Helena still wants to spend time hanging out with me, going places or even just spending time together at home. I know that I am almost out of time for that. She is on the verge of "leaving the nest" and I won't get to share her life with her on a day-to-day basis much longer. Thinking of that makes me sad and I wish she could stay my little girl forever. But I am also excited for her to go out into the world and have her own adventures, too. So here is my Birthday Wish for my daughter;
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you (and yours)!
-An Old Irish Blessing
Happy Birthday, sweet girl! I love you!

Sniff... I don't want my girl to grow up but apparently, by the looks of your picture, it happens regardless. Beautiful post, my dear.
