Thirty-three

Thirty-three years ago, I became a mom to this sweet, baby girl.

Happy Birthday Christina!  

This was taken on the day you were baptized. Tomorrow you will dedicate your second son to the Lord.

I couldn't be more proud of the daughter you are, 

 a sweet older sister to your brother and sisters,

 a fisherman,

a loving mother, 

and a dedicated wife.

 

 You earned your degree,

and furthered your career opportunities by graduating as a R.N.

I remember when I turned 33.  All I could think about is Jesus ended his earthly life when he was 33 years old.  I felt I hadn't accomplished much by that age. But you sure have! I am so very proud of you, Christina.  Happy 33rd birthday!
