Happy 21st Birthday Alexandria!!
You could have been HERE, with ME, getting spoiled rotten...but alas, you are currently at Basic Training. Flying into the blue. Like I did, another lifetime ago. I miss you so much my heart hurts, but as always, I'm more proud of you than I can possibly say!! My first baby...all grown up. Did I mention that I miss you???? I'm not going to cry......too much.Quotes for today:

Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children." Alex Haley
