Today is Talia’s birthday! If you’ve read “This One’s for Talia” or seen the video in “Amazing Gift,” you already know that we have a strong and beautiful bond. We’ve shared so much over the last 23 years and I love how our relationship has grown and gotten even stronger. Here’s a little bit from the beginning.
Once Bobby and I decided we were ready to have a baby, I was so excited when I found out I was pregnant. We had been with friends going out on an airboat and on the way home, I told Bobby I needed to stop for something. I had a feeling I was pregnant so I got the test and got the plus sign 🙂 It was a great day and the next 3 or so months were, too! Well it didn’t really surprise me that after the 1st two trimesters, it wasn’t all that easy. I didn’t like being treated like I was ‘fragile’ nor did I like wearing a one-piece bathing suit, feeling like a Florida manatee and, 40 weeks is a long time! So you can probably guess that I was really excited when the early signs of labor started Friday morning, June 7th, Daddy’s birthday!! He and Mom were ready and they hurried on down to FL. Finally, three days later, Talia Nicole was born healthy and beautiful!! Her eyes were bright, wide-open and she was holding her head up the next day. She was born strong. I was the happiest I’d ever been or imagined.
Her passion has always been horses so I found this image and added my words for her birthday. My wish for her is to always have as much love, happiness and support as she has given me. That and to have a horse farm together in FL 😉
Aww! I love you so much Mama! This day 23 years ago I got the best mom out there ❤ I love having you as my best friend and can’t wait to see all the things we’ll do and memories we’ll make!! 😁💕
Also, I love my present and that you made it ❤❤
