13 Years Ago Tonight...

Again, writhing in pain (see 10 years ago today story below), after 3 days of being in labor, yes, it was labor, I don't care what Dr. Chris said and how he sent me home once...Kelsie Lyn Gardner Collins Hand was born on Feb 6th, 1995. And believe it or not...it was all worth it :)

Happy Birthday Kels! Love, Mommy

(On a side note, thanks to my faithful family and friends for your prayers for me, and to God for hearing them. And please, keep them coming!)

Sheri: For God knows the plans He has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

You are all in our prayers.

Kelsie, we wish you a very "Happy Birthday". It's hard to believe you are entering your teen years - you're just getting older, we're not. Enjoy your day!!
Love,
Grandma, Grandpa, A.Gena & U.Philip
Sheri, Hope you're feeling better, talk to you soon.

Kelsie, I missed wishing you a happy birthday on your Mom's blog, but better late than never.
Love and prayers for a wonderful weekend with your Aunt K. and family, and your Dad home. See you soon.
And have fun at your ice skating party.
Grandma and PaPa Collins
