Making a Wish

Our daughter Melissa's birthday is Thursday, but she has to work that night, so we celebrated tonight. This is the first birthday she has been home in 9 years. When she lived in Arkansas, Charleston and Fort Lauderdale, her birthday fell too close to Christmas for a return trip home. On her birthday last year, I posted a photo in 365 of her in Charleston titled, "Photo I Wish I Could Take Today." This year I got my wish. I hope she gets hers too...
what a blessing and such a pretty young lady. Hope she has many more.
