Happy Birthday Aral (ap3)



Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby girl, Aral.

Aral was a joy as a baby. She never had to be told "no." Honest. She was just a good kid.

She was smart -- valedictorian of her high school class, spelling bee champ, National Honor Society member,etc. Athletic: earned 6 varsity letters. And she was well regarded by her classmates. On the Senior Class ballot she was voted most respected, most reliable, best student, and most likely to succeed. She was Vice-President of the senior class, President of the Student Council, and editor-in-chief of the Yearbook.

I could go on, but I don't wanta brag or nothin'. I'm embarrassing her of course. I just love her to pieces.

Happy Birthday Baby.

Oh, yes...you did ask: You graduated with Distinction from Cornell and Harvard. That's two things. And you've been a beautiful human being. That's another.

That's a beautiful photo and a nice tribute to your daughter. You must have had something to do with her turning out so good.

She deserves all the bragging. Who cares if it embarrasses her? It's her day and she should be spotlighted.
Terrific photo of a lovely, witty, intelligent gal!
I wish her a wonderful birthday.

Valedictorian!! Well thanks for that snippet. That explains a lot. She is really a treasure.

Now she's a person I'm proud to share my birthday with! Or should I say "with whom I am proud to share my birthday."?
Either way - I AM!

Happy Birthday Aral

Well - its hard to imagine all those accomplishments looking at that active pez picture -- though that pic always makes me smile and i'm sure both the one you posted and the pez pic make you gleam inside.

There's probably more to the pez stuff than i know. She didn't like invent pez containers too did she?

Happy Belated Birthday Aral.
