Happy Birthday Lisa!!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dear Lisa, Happy Birthday to you!!

I just want to say how thankful I am to have such a wonderful person in my life. I hear of a lot of not so great step Mom's, but I have the best. I feel like she has always thought of me as her own, just as I love her as my own. She on countless occasions would go out of her way to help me, or do something special for me. My favorite is when I was living behind my Mom's house in a little apartment which felt like it was in the middle of the forest with a bunch of scary people out my door (all in my head of course). I called and begged my Dad to come and get me and Kirsten and take us to their house. He did, and then when I got there Lisa had shut all the blinds (which she never did at that time), so I wouldn't be scared about not being able to see out the windows. I can tell her anything and I know it is safe. I know that when she is giving me advice she is telling me what is best for me, and does it even if it is not what I want to hear. I love spending time you her, just doing nothing, and it never gets boring. She is the real deal, nothing is fake about her. I love you so much Lisa. Thank you for all you do for me and my family, we appreciate it.

Have a wonderful Birthday.

How old now 50 something right?

Those little memories are the best, those are the ones that you remember so dear but the other person probably doesn't even remember!
