~ Happy Birthday Raquel ~

Happy

 Birthday 

Raquel

23 years ago today I gave birth to a healthy and beautiful baby girl ~
The little one arrived with delay (something that hasn't changed!) ~
Quietly entering into this unknown world at 7lb 8.5oz she looked up and snuggled into my chest ~ content ~

~ God's very special gift to me ~

~How very blessed was I~

Translation  - Raquel aged 7 - Writings in her diary ~

Monday 28th April 1997
A couple of weeks ago my Mum accidently squashed a big green tree frog in the door when she was getting the ?. When she tried to pick him up he made a funny sound. It sound like some one screaming then he settled down. Then went away.
Teacher - 'I hope he's all right now'.
Raquel - 'He is all right now'.

*Don't you just love the drawing of the green frog with his footprints and the 'rebttt' ~

Raquel aged 5 ~

I have truly never felt a love like this ~ Raquel is my life ~

Thank you baby for choosing me as your Mummy ~

~ Happy Birthday my little sweet one ~

Love Mummy XOXOXOXOXO
