Angie's Birthday

Yesterday was our daughter Angie's birthday. We remember so vividly the day she was born. It was a beautiful sunny morning, shortly after 8 A.M. We were so excited to have a second baby girl. She was a tiny, (5 lb.13 oz) beauty. She has been such a joy to us ever since.
This brings back so many memories. We had moved into Student Housing at U of A. in Edmonton. The year was 1977. Bruce had just completed his first year of Law School. We did not know then that we would be moving again in 2 months to Drake University in Des Moines Iowa where Bruce would complete his Law degree in a combined Law/MBA program. We now had two lovely little girls, Amy our first daughter was just 20 months old. We were as poor as church mice but happy. It was a tumultuous time but oh so exciting.
I have posted some scrapbook pages from Angie's life.

If - by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
