Happy Birthday Madison!

9 years ago, June 14th 2001. The Sixers were playing the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
10 days late and feeling crummy.  Labor was not fun at all thanks to pitocin...but thankful for epidurals. Fever, chills, throwing up strawberry freezie pops. Not-so-smart resident says "you probably won't have the baby till tomorrow..." He was never to be seen in my room again. Dr. Meltz..."it's time to push...wake up Bill!" Pushed & pushed & pushed some more. And at 4:48 pm a little head with brown hair emerged. "It's our Madison!" Bill said...but how did he know? She wasn't out yet. One more push & there she was...our Madison Elizabeth. Blue and not breathing. New daddy says "breathe for daddy honey, breathe for daddy"...and she did. And from that first breathe until now, we stand amazed at the the gift you are. Happy Birthday to my first born Madison! My spunky girl, we love you!!

Wow, I remember that day like it was yesterday! My Madison I knew God had blessed me with you when I saw your head. God has blessed you in so many ways. I pray you open you heart to him and see all that he has for you. Happy Birthday my little girl. Daddy loves you.
