Happy birthday, dear daughter.

  

I wish I knew how to scan pictures. 

I could show you pictures of my DD ~ dear daughter ~ 

through the years.

Dance recitals and piano recitals ~

Playing the piano or singing in church ~

Singing in school choirs ~

All the fun birthday parties at our house ~

Cheering in middle school and high school ~

Homecoming and proms ~

And then would come all of the wedding pictures.

She was a bridesmaid for all of her friends,

and we were fortunate to attend their weddings.

This is a picture from one of the baby showers.
Cory is between the purple and the orange dresses.

Then, of course, her big day.

I wish I could show you what a beautiful bride she was.

But since I don't know how to scan,

I'll have to show you a more recent picture of her.

This is Cory at her happiest - with her wonderful husband and two kids.

She is a strong Christian, loving wife, devoted mother, and the best daughter.

She is a faithful friend and has such a tender, sensitive heart.

Happy birthday, Cory.

(Maybe I will learn to scan before your next birthday.)
