Happy Birthday to my little niece...

Happy Birthday to my first born little niece, Tiffy.

Yes, she is my little niece even though we are only two years apart.

She was one of my first best friends, along with C.

We have had so many adventures together, our childhood is so intertwined.

We were raised more like sisters than aunt and niece, as her Mom,

my sister, Veronica always had me with her.

One of our favorite memories are standing on top of 

daddy's old chest freezer with brooms singing,

"I'm leaving on a jet plane."

When we heard it on the radio days later we both

freaked as we really thought we had not only made that song up

but thought it had been stolen from us.

As we grew, we went out together, cried about lots together

and laughed a lot.

She now, is a single parent to one of the most awesome teenagers, Tedi-girl.

I often brag about what a great mother she is.

She also has recently tackled going back to school to get her RN degree

as she is right now an LPN.

All who have had the privilege of being nursed or having a family member

nursed by Tiffy, know they have had the best.

Yes, my BEDA, as my kids have always called her can

drive you crazy.... make you laugh,

but she, has lots that others look up to.

Happy Birthday to one of my first friends ever.

You have lots to be proud of on this birthday.

I love you, forever and ever.
