Last

year as a family we were watching some old Ashton family videos that had been put on DVD.  We were all rolling on the floor laughing when a 12 year old Gary showed up on the screen wearing a bright pink t-shirt with "Official Girl Watcher" printed on the front.

On Christmas Tiffany presented us with a card that had this picture of Gary and his Dad in it. 

When I saw the picture, my comment to Tiffany was, "You probably don't remember, but in that picture the shirt Dad has on said, Official Girl Watcher."  I was way off on the fact that she didn't remember, because this is what she gave us.

Well, on this "Official Girl Watcher's" birthday

I'd like him to know that I feel very blessed

to have been the "Official Girl" in his life.

He is the only boy I've had eyes for

from the time I was 13 years old.

I wouldn't change a thing about our life together.

(though things may have turned out differently

if I'd ever actually seen him in that shirt)

Thanks, Tiffany. for such a memorable gift.

We'll wear them proudly.
