Negril Notes

It was Twenty Years Ago Today . . .

May 14, 2006

My daughter Kristine was born twenty years ago today! WOW! 

I remember like it was yesterday! Meeting Kris for the first time, I knew right away she was cool! Her mom was there too, making a lot of noise if I remember correctly, but I did most of the work. It’s stressful in them delivery rooms!

I have to admit to getting a bit misty looking through her photos, I think I feel an ode coming on!

Kristine’s Twentieth Birthday Ode

O’ Kristine, O’ Kristine
O’ How I love thee
You looked like this when you were about three

Once such a cutie

You’ve grown into a beauty!

You play, You sing, You dance

OK, and occasionally you prance

Your look has changed year by year

But there were no facial piercings for Dad to fear

You work so hard, and you play the same

It amazes me how you win your game!
Although below you’re looking a tad bit lame, but I don’t mean to flame

So take today and try to chill,
I send you my love, my heart it does fill

Just think, in six months we’ll be back in Negril!!

Happy Birthday Kris!

Love,
Dad
