Happy Birthday!

24 Years Old!

Where did the time go? After 44 hours of labor, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl at NYU Hospital, 24 years ago on this day.

My husband and I had gone to see the movie, "Moonstruck". Afterwards, we walked over to Serendipity's and ate the largest banana split that I had ever seen in my life. It was our last date for a long time. I did not get the significance of going to the movies before going to the hospital, but I get it now. We did not go to see a movie without children for 22 years after our first child was born. Unfortunately, I have had too many banana splits since she was born.

I can not tell you how much my daughter has grown and matured over the years in this blog entry. I guess you will have to wait for my memoir to be published. I can tell you that I am so proud of the woman that she has become. I feel blessed to have her as my daughter. You don't get to pick your parents or your children. But if I did get to pick, I would pick her(and my other two children as well). They have made me a "Proud Mama".

Thank you for being born. Thank you for being an amazing young woman.
