It's Ruthie's birthday. She doesn't even think of herself as Ruthie anymore than I think of myself as Vicki. We've both outgrown our childhood names. She is two years younger than I was when she was born. SHE IS A MOM!!!!!! Last birthday with her and Chris was sad - honored but sad - just ten days after Mira died. Bob and I took them out to dinner. Tomorrow we will take them out to lunch and LIAM will be with us - live, sweet or grouchy, LIVE, present. I love you Ru-hoo. (You'll never outgrow that one) And I respect you immensely Ruth, wife of Chris, mother of Mira and Liam. You are a blessing every day.

Happy birthday, Ruth. Enjoy your birthday lunch. I have been enjoying looking at photos of little Liam (and his grandmother too).

I'm wishing Ruth a Happy Birthday, Victoria. She sure has a lot to celebrate this year. Nice that you and Bob took them to dinner for her b'day, and today is her b'day lunch including LIAM. Looking forward to hearing about that and seeing some pictures.

I, too, want to wish Ruth a happy birthday. And I enjoy so much hearing about / looking at pictures of lucky little Liam!
