ReplyDeleteBless you, dear Tori and I wish you the Happiest Birthday that anyone has ever had. May your day and especially you heart be full of joy.
ReplyDeleteI love your new picture, or at least I haven't seen it before.
I really like your new blog look.
I have missed coming over and visiting with you.
I loved your list of things about you, it was most interesting. I have that thing about ears also. My Dad had it too, that is probably why I have it.haha.
You may not have ever seen your birth Dad but one day you will see your heavenly Father and He is the most important of all.
We adopted our daughter and she can not even remember what her Dad looks like either and now he is dead. He was killed by the father of a woman he was living with at the time. I don't know why I told you that, oh well.
Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for coming over to visit me on my blog, it meant more than you can know. love you, connie from Texas
