DEAREST ANGIE--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Wow, you're 21!!! I can't believe it! You will always be so dear to my heart. When you were a little girl, you used to always come up and give me hugs, and rest your head on my heart. It was so sweet and encouraging! When I was really going thru it last year about my health, you'd always say, "Mom, did I tell you that I love you today?" It would really cheer me up and make my day! I also remember the time you took me out and bought me a bunch of clothes--how thoughtful! Even though I knew you didn't have a whole lot of cash. And you're always so willing to help, whenever I ask, like with Violet or pitching in with the dishes, or whatever. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! You are so talented and artistic. I still have some of your beautiful drawings & paintings that you gave me. And you always seem to know what looks good and I appreciate your artistic advice. I lOVE YOU & PRAY FOR YOU! I wish you a very happy and inspiring year!!! I don't always show you how much I care, I think, and forgive me for teasing you sometimes. You take it really well! You will always be my sweet Angel!--Like your name! I know Dad loves you tons as well. Yours, Mom OXOXOXOXOXOXO
