Joyful Journal, January 3, 2011

Today is Elizabeth Jane's 8th birthday (just barely, since it is 11:56p.m. as I type) and I've spent the day doing stuff with her.  My joy today is the memories today brings flooding back to me. Those memories make my heart full and I can never, ever think about them without crying.  Just glad Elizabeth isn't sitting her to roll her eyes and say, "Mo-om! Stop it!"  Even that?  Total joy.
