It's A Girl!

March 22, 1980 I gave birth to my one and only little girl. We had a long, long night and day of labor, but when she arrived, eyes wide open, all that melted away and my husband, Gary, and I were surrounded by a heavenly bubble of joy.

We brought her home and her brothers Mykel, aged 9 and Adam, aged 6, were adorable with her. Jade Crystal Harmon completed our family circle, or in some cases, family circus!

For 32 years we've grown and grown and grown!

Our enlarged circle now includes 2 beautiful, smart and funny daughters-in-law, Ann, Mykel's wife, and Lisa, Adam's wife, a wonderful, talented, loving son-in-law, Jade's husband, Jay, and 7 grand kids! In order of their appearance in our lives, Sophia, Kai, Alex, Rowan, Desmond, Leo and Jade's very first, Eko.

People write blogs for many reasons. Few read mine so my blogs tend to be more like diaries or journals for myself. That is just fine! This blog is for you, Jade, and if a few others find it or read it, that is cool. But, you have always asked for childhood memory stories and I think of many of them on a daily basis. Now I have my place, our place, to put them.

So, Happy Birthday to you, dear Daughter O' Mine. Your own brilliant blog, Belly Blog, aka Eko Blog, about the pregnancy and birth of your own boy is so inspiring I thought you deserved a whole blog about YOU. So stay tuned, honey, and I will enjoy this one! I hope you do, too.

You know your parents loving hands are always ready to hold you, help you, catch you, wave hello and goodbye.

White Gold Violet and All My Love (and Dad's too, of course)
