Happy Birthday to my Second Mom!

Happy Birthday to my second mom. Aunt Nita there aren't enough words to let you know how much you mean to me. Every since the day I was born you have always been right by my side.


I can remember thinking I was hot stuff getting to go to Tuscaloosa just to spend the night with you. I always loved wearing my shirt " Somebody in Tuscaloosa Loves Me."

You always have the right words to say to me, even though sometimes I didn't want to hear them, in the long run I always listened to you.

When Mom moved to Oklahoma and I was still in college, you stood up to the plate to be my "mom" when I needed one since my mom was so far away. You helped me out of many many binds while I was in school.

You always cooked the best meals when I was living in Tuscaloosa. Sometimes I felt like a burden coming over sooo much, but you always had my place set at the table. I still say coming over for supper at your house is one of the things I miss the most now that I dont live there anymore( it ranks up there high with tailgating on the quad!!)

I remember the day I told you that I was going to make you a GREAT Aunt. You just smiled with joy. It was really exciting when I told you that I was making you a GREAT aunt times two!!!! :)

I can never thank you enough for all you did for Dan and me while Aubrey was still in NICU. You helped us sooooo much playing the role of "grandmother" ( as most of you know, only parents and grandparents are allowed in the NICU, but other visitors are allowed if the parents are with them)since we had another baby at home to take care of as well, it was very hard being in two places at once, especially for the 5PM, 8PM and even the 11PM feedings. However, Aunt Nita was Aubrey's "MeMe" during her stay and we never let them know otherwise. Aunt Nita would get up an hour early to go feed Aubrey for us until one of us got there and then go back at night for her nightly feedings. We couldn't of survived without her during that week, she played her role so well, she even got a certificate for "World's Greatest Grandmother" (and dont think she doesn't hold that over Moma D's head!!! lol)

Overall, you have blessed our family soo much with your Christian love and care. I am very thankful, blessed and most of all proud that I can call you MY aunt and no one else gets that honor!

I love you!!!
