                I recently went shopping with my daughter Jaylene... for her wedding dress.  

I had no idea how emotional it would be.  I do not cry easy and I am pretty good at holding my emotions inside but..when you see your daughter in a wedding dress, even if it is the first of many she tries on, it touches you deep.  When I sat waiting for her to come out in the first dress, all I could think of was images of Jaylene as a little girl, helping me bake, playing in the sandbox, dancing and singing.  It brought tears to my eyes thinking of her as all grown up.  When she stepped out of the dressing room and she looked at me, my lip was quivering and I felt like an idiot for wanting to cry.  She is a tough cookie like me, and she just gave me a hug and no words had to be spoken.  She understood.  Moments like that you don't forget and I also won't forget how beautiful she looked in every dress she tried on.  She is going to have a difficult time just picking one!  

She is my amazing daughter and I love her so much.  

Tip of the Day...

Enjoy your kids, next thing you know they are all grown up and shopping for a wedding dress.

Have a great weekend everyone!  See you next Monday!

We can all think of someone we know who has been touched by cancer.  Take a moment today and remember those who have lost the battle and those who are still fighting it.
