Happy Birthday, Maggie!

Dear Hearts,

#grannystillgardens

January 31st is the birthday of Margaret Poppy Flores: daughter of Lizzy and Randy; sister of Levi and Amos; granddaughter of Margaret and Brian Glick and Kim and Randy Flores; cousin and niece of a whole bunch of us. Maggie is one of the happiest and content girls I've ever known.

In the fall, Maggie began preschool, attending a few days a week. Like her mama in the late 1980s (which seems like yesterday!) she was not initially on board with the idea of going to school. In fact, when Yaya (Brian) dropped her off, Maggie turned on the waterworks and tried hard to get him to take her right back home. Today, she confidently and happily marches into the classroom and, I'm sure, is a good buddy and fine student.

Maggie Pop dutifully attends her brothers' sporting events, loves toast with butter, articulates her thoughts quite well, and holds some very clear opinions. She also is a constant reminder of Mary Claire for many of us. Maggie walks like her, dresses like her, eats like her, plays like her and loves like her. 

Happy birthday, Maggie, and may you have 121 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love, Patty
