Happy Birthday, Cindy

Once upon a time, there was a little girl, the prettiest that had ever been seen, with big brown eyes and a cascade of bouncing dark ringlets. Her mother doted on her. Her grandmother was even fonder...




She used to climb up on a chair to her newborn brother's crib, she only meant to kiss him good night, but instead decided to toss her little pink shoes at him..... Wake up wake up little brother come play with me!




She liked to open the cupboard doors to see all the pretty things inside, the neatly stacked bowls, the candlestick holders, the big round tin that was always full of sugar cookies. 


At night, she used to pray, “please Jesu' send me an angel to watch me when I sleep! I know he'd be invisible, but it would help a heap! I'm not a scared cat, afraid to close my eyes! I'm just a little girl who reads my Bible every day".... 

She has singing abilities, she sings "The Star Spangled Banner" at parties and ball games, the first time she grabbed a microphone she was only three, she sang in church--special music on Saturday morn'.


Then one day her mother, who had just made and baked some cakes, looked at her and say: Oh me, oh my, oh you, who's this beautiful young woman in front of me? Those lips, those eyes of brown, is it you or is it me? Tell the mother from the daughter!

You're so precious to me you’re so sweet; you simply lift me off my feet…. Oh me, oh my, oh you!
Dear Cindy: You are an achiever. You look at the stars, see them high, well above your reach; nevertheless you reach high, and work hard for those things that I dreamt about at your age, but never had the courage to do, or try. And I admire you for that.


I admire you sense of responsibility, and your courage to speak up your mind in any circumstance, I admire you for the instances when you’ve refused to plaster on a mask and pretended to feel something you are not, and for all the times you slipped backward, but refused to stay there.


You are a go-getter, a hard worker and self-started who never gives up, and I admire you for that, and for so much more. You are amazing…. My amazing little girl (you’ll always be my little girl), you are talented, smart, funny, beautiful, oh, so beautiful, and I love you dearly.

  6. Hi Cielo,
    Happy Birthday to Cindy. What a lovely tribute to her Cielo. Your little girl is beautiful just like you and sounds like she's got your lovely spirit as well.

    Aren't daughters just the very best? It's scary and exciting seeing yourself in them at the same time, but wouldn't want it any other way!

    Oh, to have a Mom like you with such joy of life.

    Happy night!

  11. Good Morning Cielo,
    "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to your beautiful daughter, Cindy. I hope she has a wonderful day. She gets her beauty from you. This is a wonderful post about your daughter. I know you are very proud of her. I haven't posted anymore, just spending my time with my DH while he is at home. Hopefully next week things will get back to normal and I'll start my regular posting again. But for now, I feel the need to spend my time with my DH. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

    Love & Hugs,
    Karen H.
