Happy Birthday To Our Dear Eva!!




27 years ago I was going to bed as a very pregnant mama and in the morning of October 10th, 1979, at 5:00 a.m. I would be awakened with labor pains. I got up, lit candles, and rocked in my rocking chair timing the contractions, reading the book "Spiritual Midwifery",the home birth "bible", making sure that this was really it....and it really was.
Soon the whole house, (Rick and I were living with my Mom and Dad, Doug, Mary and Lynne), was buzzing with the excitement of the arrival of our little Eva.
By 6pm that night we were sitting in front of a roaring fire in the living room taking turns, holding our darling little girl. You certainly have been a well loved girl, no denying that. You were born into such a big, wonderful, loving family
27 years! It's hard to believe; it feels like the time has flown.
I wish we were together sweetie. It is so hard to be so far away. I have always said that this country is just too damn big.
I am so proud of you and so glad that you are who you are. You are an amazing person and as a mother I feel truly blessed to have such great kids....and now grandkids (keep them coming :).....
Liz found all of these pictures and got all of this set up, because I am still computerless and all of our photos are still in storage.
She wanted to write too, but June woke up and she is patting her back and soothing her back to sleep.
WE LOVE YOU DOLL! HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!
