Happy ALMOST Fourth of July!!!

To Henry and Eliza

 (I love you two so much I can hardly stand it!!!)

I am so grateful for this great country of mine.

 I am grateful for the opportunity to raise my children here.

  I love this land!

Please take care of it.

Please take care of the people in it.

Stand up for what you believe in with respect and honor.

Share your love for your country and keep patriotism alive!

Read about your country and why she is who she is today.

Know that your mother could never hold back her tears as she put her hand across her heart and sang our country's anthem.

You have been given so much, so very much!

Do not waste your precious gift.

God put you here on this land for a reason.

You have all the opportunities you would ever want.

What will you CHOOSE to do with it?

I love you...be great!!!
