What a day filled with mixed emotions. April 16. For all of my life, that was and of course still is my daddy's birthday. Just this year we were not celebrating it with him here on earth. My guess is they do not celebrate earthly birthday's in Heaven, but I know that I thought about him and said Happy Birthday to him just the same. April 16 will just never be the same.
Now, something wonderful happened and who knows, maybe my daddy had a hand in it....at least I would like to think so. :o) We got to meet our nearly 10 month old grand daughter for the very first time. Her name is Vicktoria Rose, but everyone calls her Torrie. She is just beautiful and has the most gorgeous blue eyes. I am not sure what it is with this Hispanic combination and my guys. Michael's little girl Haylee looks just like him, but she has her mother's blue eyes. Piercing blue, beautiful blue. Then there is Torrie, she looks like her mom, but has Justin's beautiful blue eyes. It is just unreal how they look. A grammie could get accustomed to this...LOL
I could focus on all the reason we have not met her until now, but I would just like to think about how this is a beautiful beginning to a wonderful life. She is a joy to be around, easy going, happy and full of wonder. The children we all taken with her. They took turns holding her, pushing her in her stroller, hugging here, feeding her and even wanting to change her...though poppie took care of that one. We had so much fun.
Yes, April 16 will always be a day to reflect on my daddy, to miss him and to remember the life he had on earth, but now it will also be the day we met Miss Torrie.

Love, Tari
Love, She.
looks like you and the family had a lovely visit and a great way to
take your mind off of things. I hope you get to visit with Tori more
often.
She's a beautiful little girl. One all of y'all will enjoy over the years. I'm glad you got to meet her and spend a wonderful day with her in the park. Looks like everyone had a great time. I'm sure daddy was looking down on you with a satisfied and proud smile knowing he did a great job raising you to be such a loving and giving person. The 16th will be a day for joy! Love you. Tammy
