To my oldest daughter on this her birthday,
How could it be that my once sweet little girl grew to be this absolutely beautiful young lady?
How could it be that my once sweet little girl is now raising her own family and has a sweet little girl to train and teach to be a lady?
How could it be that my once sweet little girl is now teaching and training other young women to become as her?
How could it be that my once little girl who I could hold in the palm of my hand when she was born, is now standing tall and raising a righteous generation?
How could it be that my first born is now following in her mother’s footsteps in being kind, loving, caring, and watching over her own family?
How could it be, that we have been so blessed to have such a wonderful young lady who sets an example for so many?
How could it be, that when we say Kimberly you have to use “and Robyn” with her name?
How could it be, that where two once kneeled in the temple, there now stands 11 and ¾?
How could it be, that a couple filled with love for one another could have a family that means more to them than anything in the entire world?
How could it be that the distance between us is shortened through the Internet?
How could it be that this young lady grew to stand taller than many of her friends spiritually?
How could it be that this young lady continues in her example for all she associates with?
How could it be our number one child could be so bright, beautiful, and kind?
How could a loving Heavenly Father know the needs of a young couple when He blessed their lives with the three greatest children a couple could ever raise?
How could the blessings of parenthood be so great when all you think about is the well-being of your children and grandchildren?
Out of all things given us, we have three wonderful children who we love with all our hearts. We have a daughter who is having a birthday which signifies our aging, yet her birthday shows her maturity as a special daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves her beyond measure.
Her birthday today is our blessing into the eternities.
We will continue giving thanks for two special daughters and one wonderful son who bless our lives with their examples and their own desires for a righteous life.
How could we have so many blessings that our cup runneth over?
We have a Heavenly Father who does love us.
The windows of Heaven have truly been opened and the blessing of parenthood has been poured out upon us.
The blessing has been so great there is hardly room to receive it.
Oh how great our joy is with having such great children.
Happy Birthday Kimberly!
We love you honey.
Dad

Remember how you would call me a pantie waste when you would pour water over my head, while giving me a bath, and I would cry? Well, I still am one, I guess. Thanks for making me cry. That was a very touching tribute...I love you guys!
That was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful daughter. Love her and love you both!
Nice tribute! It's nice to have such a sentimental dad! Happy B-day Kimberly!
Okay, I refused to blog for a bit- not sure why, just couldn't face it and then I read these sweet tributes to your daughter- you guys are the best! I called her last week because I woke at 2am during the fires and thought- OH NO, Kimberly lives in San Diego!! Glad it went okay and all they are left with is an adventure to share!
angidogWow, what a beautiful tribute to wonderful daughter. Kimberly is so very thoughtful and sensitive and she IS TRAINING HER three children in the right way. Taylor is a carbon copy of her mother and her NANU (I think that is how you spell this). All of this starts in the home and I am so very proud to be Kimberly's grandma and Diane's mom. A great blog from a great dad!!
