Happy Birthday, Dessie May!

My second-born child is 28 years old today. I seriously can’t believe it. Where did the years go? Seriously. I mean, seriously. This can’t be.

My 98 year-old grandmother (Momo) has always called her “Dessie May”. So to honor Momo, I’m calling her Dessie May today.  Dessie May is an incredible daughter, mother, wife and sister. She is a giver and a lover. When she knows God is saying something and giving vision, she goes after it with 150% of her being.  She keeps my world balanced, and I love her so much.

This is one of my favorite pictures of her. Her face can say a thousand words. She makes me laugh!

And here is her sweet family at a Fourth of July picnic this summer hosted by the American Embassy in Brussels.

I just can’t end this post without showing you this pic, though. Dessie May and her sister, Courtney, are only 23 months apart. I just want to kiss those cheeks!

Happy Birthday, sweetie! Your mother is so proud of you!
