Happy Birthday Dear Cindy!!

Wow, a blog post?!? I am not sure many people check this anymore, but I had to write my traditional birthday post for my sister Cindy. She never EVER misses writing a birthday post for each member of our family. Each parent, brother, sister, brother in law, sister in law, niece and nephew always get a beautifully written, heart felt birthday post on their birthday, so it has become kind of a tradition for me to write one for her =) I decided to do things a little differently this year. Here are a few other sentiments to go with mine =)

Cindy,

I am so grateful for all the things you write about everyone on their birthday.  You are so thoughtful and observant of everyone’s talents and attributes.  Thanks for being such a great daughter to me and mother.  You are a great example to me and I am so proud of the wonderful Mother and wife you have become.  It is so much fun to watch you raise those beautiful little daughters.  You were very creative as a child and have carried that into your adult life.

 Love,

 Dad

Happy birthday, dear Cindy! I can't believe you are 31--where did all those years go??? What a blessing to be your mother, and to see the wonderful, caring, dedicated wife and mother you have become. You are a way better mother than I was, and I love being able to say that! Have a wonderful birthday! 

Love you forever, 

Mom

Cindy,
You have so many talents and strengths. Thank you for sharing of yourself so freely. You are truly an example of caring and listening to the spirit. I wish we lived closer so we could see each other more often! When we do get together it's so nice to catch up and chat. I hope your day is wonderful! Thanks for all you do in keeping our family close!
Love, 
Kristalyn

Happy Birthday! I hope it's a great day.

Cindy,
I hope on this birthday and always that you know and feel how much you are loved. You have so many wonderful qualities, and are such an example of faith, courage, perseverance, and unconditional love. You are an extraordinary mother, sister, wife daughter, aunt, and friend. You know me so well and I know you will always be there for me whenever I need a listening ear, or just to tell a silly story about something that happened, because I know you will "get it". I hope this year is a wonderful one for you and that all of your dreams come true =) 
Love,
Diana 

On your birthday I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated you for always being such a great and fun person to be around. I also wanted to say thank you for being such a great example to my kids and I am so grateful that they have such a wonderful aunt to look up to. 
Love,
Brandon

Happy Birthday Cindy! I'm very grateful for you and the example you are. I am constantly strengthened by the things you share on your blog about different experiences in your life- you are so in tune with the spirit, and it makes me want to be better. You are such a wonderful sister, mom and wife, and I hope you know that you are so appreciated in everything you do. I hope you have a wonderful day, you deserve it!
