Happy Birthay, Gail

Gail turned 60. We couldn't let this birthday pass without a big celebration! I often look back and thank God for gail- for so many reasons, but the one that often comes to my mind is that God knew i would still need a mother in my life after he took my own. I need one during pregnancies, births, child rearing, and amazing sales and clearances! He put her in my life for that very reason and although i deeply miss my mom, i couldn't imagine my life without gail. The hole would be much larger and harder to deal with if it wasn't for gail. You don't get to pick your mother-in-law. She just kind of comes with the husband, but i am so blessed that TJ's mom is awesome. It could have been so bad, but instead it was such a good thing!
I LOVE you, gail! And although i don't call you "mom" you are one to me and for that i am so very thankful. After six years of calling you "gail" i just couldn't switch what i called you that easily.
We love you for you and that is why you are so worth celebrating!
