My sweet angel turns 13

6 years of infertility. 3 months of brethine and numerous times in the hospital for premature labor. All for my doodlebug, Delanie.
Many have wondered about her name, thinking we are Irish. Ohhh, how I wish. I dream of being Irish with all the cool Irish traditions. But sadly we are German .
Oh, back to her name. Well, some that know Pat know that he is a Parrotthead, meaning a loyal Jimmy Buffett fan. Shortly before she was concieved, Buffett released an album, Fruitcakes. On it is her song..Delaney Talks to Statues. That was just what Pat needed. He forced me to name her after Buffett's daughter. NOT REALLY. I enjoyed the song too ..but naming her after a Buffett song...after Buffett's daughter. Really, that was just weird to me at first. But, the name soon grew on me. And I am so glad. The name suits her so well.

Delanie is just a gift from God to us. She is witty but very serious. Being in the spotlight is not her thing. Following the crowd is not her. Yet, she gets along with everyone. Reserved most the time.

She is so gifted with her writings. Her poems amase us. Her love of reading is astounding.
She is so strong . She proved that when she underwent her brain surgery.

Delanie is turning into such a lovely women. I shudder at the time of life when she is no longer at home. She is such a true joy.

I love you so much :)
