Happy Birthday Little Lover and A. J.



Today is Little Lover's (otherwise known as Mr. Mischief or Domenicky) birthday. He turned one years old today. Woohoo! He is amazing and he is more like his Grandma than I thought he would be. She would be nibbling on his toes and kissing him all over if she could and I bet she would be telling us how much he looks like her.

It is also my Auntie Jacquie's birthday today. I hope it was as good as it could be without her son, mother and sister there to give her lots of hugs and kisses. She is also truly amazing. I don't know if I will ever again see such strength, love and determination from one individual. You are unbelievable A. J. and we love you to the moon and back.

Happy birthday to dear Dominick and lovely Jacquie. Your family Angelique is so special in a way that there is so much to celebrate. While the past 12 months have been injected with sorrow, there is still a seemingly unlimited source of joy and happiness in the forms of Dominick and Josephine and the celebration of life. To your beautiful Aunt Jaquie and to precious Dominick - HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Dear Angelique, I understand completely your utter feeling of loss. I have only known your Mom for a little over a year, yet her influence is a lifetime. When I feel blue, I sometimes go through my old posts and read your Mom's comments. Oh, the exchanges we had with Bella, those late nights and early mornings and evenings batteries of humorous sometimes irreverent retorts, they will supply me a lifetime of laughter and smiles.. Your mother was full of love. She would be very proud today. Take care Angelique. Tsup! Tsup!!!

God's blessings to Domenic and Auntie Jacquie. May they grow "together strong," and may their mutual love bless them both, and all of the family. I feel sure that Jacquie is going to give Little Lover as much love as she can, for her own sake as well as Renee's. xoxoxoxo

Happy Birthday to Jacqui - I think of her often and wonder how she is doing. Please send her much love and admiration from me

Hey Angelique, I so wish I'd had a blog like this to pay tribute to my mother, it's lovely the way you keep her memory alive and happy birthday to your precious boy who will always have this legacy from a grandma he barely knew. Much love. How is Jacquie? I wish her well. Helen.

Hello Angelique

As ever I feel that lurch in my hert to see this header come up in my reader. Dom is one??? Already??? My goodness it seems like yesterday that Renee was crowing about his arrival. How Renee loves her family, even now from afar I'm sure she still does. Warmest hugs to you and especialy Dom and Jacquie on their special days (a couple of days late but hugs are good to go anytime).

As ever you are in my thoughts and prayers. xx Jos

What a photo! So much happiness and pride, you can almost reach out and touch it. Awww, every baby needs his toes nibbled on by someone very special. Happy birthday, baby Domenic!

And happy birthday to a truly amazing woman, Jacquie!

Hope you are well, dear Angelique.

Kisses to you, too.

Oh my goodness, how did I miss this?? Look at Grandma so proud of her little lover ;)
happy belated birthday sweet boy! I know your grandmother was celebrating with you.
And I believe she and her mom and Sheldon were with Jacqui too!
I understand how you describe Jacqui's strength and courage. It amazes me to even imagine her losses. Thank goodness she has you and your children.

Thank you again for posting Angelique. It keeps us all connected♥

xoxo
