You may have noticed that I often get glowing comments from my biggest fan Sparrow Chic. Well, she is my oldest daughter and an incredibly loving person.
This picture was taken at her 50th birthday party earlier this year. In those fifty years, she has been the consummate caretaker for everyone she knows. If anyone needs a friend, assistance or a shoulder to cry on, she is always there for strength and support.
She has helped family members through stressful times and then gracefully steps back when the need is gone. She continues to maintain close relationships with many friends and relatives. She sometimes functions as the "information hub" for family members spread around the state. She loves to tell us how lucky we are to have such a close family because she knows so many people who don't get along with theirs. Yet, in many ways, she is the glue who makes our close family a reality.
She is a champion organizer as well, planning events for church, Boy Scouts, Sunday School, Youth Group and our family get-togethers. Her sisters sometimes get a chuckle out of her tendencies to be a "mother hen".
We are thankful to have her in our family and I am very proud of my little Sparrow Chic!

Your sparrow chick is a lovely person inside and out! What gorgeous hair and what a kind and mature nature! No wonder you are so proud of her; rightfully so!
I am humbled Mom. Our family is lucky to have you in it too !
PS I can live with the Mother Hen title, LOL !
Your daughter is a wonderful, beautiful person. You are truly blessed...and she is blessed that you are her mother.
You raised her well, and now you can stand back and be proud of all of her good traits!
Now that we're all either in our early 60's, I'm 58, my mom who is almost 93 says, "hey, my kids are getting old~"
