Dear Nancy,
Happy 50th Birthday! While we can't fit 50 years of memories into this blog, I can touch on a few of the more momentous ones.
You were our firstborn and the eldest of five siblings. You were very forgiving of the mistakes we as new parents made and grew into a cooperative and willing helper through the years of our young family. Always a help to me and dad, I can still see you carrying logs through the snow into the house to feed our wood stove. You kept your wits about you when the boat you and dad were in overturned and managed to rescue his precious fishing tackle. How about the dog sitting business you started as a teen? Remember chasing Prince through the streets? And the beagle Fred around the court? And here you are now, running your own dog-grooming business. We should have known! Then you were off to college -- SUNY at Plattsburgh, then SUNY Stony Brook. You took everything in stride, and you continue to do so, surviving the valleys as well as rejoicing in the peaks.
And now you're on to a new phase. With Steve as your love and companion, may you continue to gather more memories. We pray that God will continue to bless you with all good things.
Much love from your Mom and Dad
