Happy Birthday, Baby Girl
Eleven years ago, I was in labor waiting to meet you. I had a catheter in my heart, and was wondering if we were both going to be okay, and if my heart could take it. Well . . . at 5:00 p.m., the answer came. A beautiful baby girl with rosebud lips, healthy as could be. Little did I know when I met you that you were a poet and a writer and a photographer and filmmaker, a baby lover and puppy lover, a Jonas Brother fanatic, a funny wit. I did know, right then, you were my heart child . . .
May life bring you dreams tempered with wisdom. Laughter tempered with a few tears just so you know how precious joy is. And love. Lots of that.

Happy Birthday BG.
I can't speak for your mother, only for myself... but as a father of two young girls I would like to say this: thank you for the joy you bring to the world and to your mother. Thank you for all the little things you do that no one notices. You are amazing and make your mother proud. She is important to all of us here on the blog and you are a big part of keeping her happy and healthy. Thank you and I wish you the best birthday ever.
Thank you all . . .
And Jude . . . AWESOME. As BG would say, OMJ!=(OH MY JONAS!)

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! Here's hoping Demon Baby doesn't eat all the cake before you get a slice.
BG, I've read your writing and I've seen your picture. I wish you a life just as beautiful. :-)
Happy birthday to a special girl who is destined for great things. Have a wonderful day. I'm looking forward to your mother posting more of your story. Chapter 4, I think it was.
Baby girl, Happy Birthday! I know the joy you bring your mom, because I have two B.G.'s of my own. You're definitely "heart" gifts to us! And keep on writing!
Here's the birthday blessing I typically give my sons:
The world became a better place the day you were born.
Yay, BG! Have a great birthday! You rock!
a poet and a writer and a photographer and filmmaker
Thank God there are parents who don't urge their children to become doctors and engineers when they clearly have a different calling. Follow Joseph Campbell's (and your mother's) advice, Baby Girl, and follow your bliss.
Happy Happy Birthday wished comeing to Baby Girl from New Jersey!
Whooo Hooooo!

There is a writer who occasionally pops by here whose parents did just that and it has always broken my heart a bit.
