When you think of Rachel, or maybe I should say, when I think of Rachel, i always remember the 'spit n fire' of her personality, and I don't mean that in a bad way! My Samantha reminds me of Rachel when younger. Sammy is hard, but i tell her all the time, you are just like your aunt Rachel, and that 'spit n fire' will serve you like it has her. what do i mean by that. Rachel is super kind and always helping people, especially special needs people. she gives them the time of day, that isn't easy, and you get taken advantage of alot, but she seems to not mind, she is strong in her beliefs and will not succumb to vain temptations. she is artistic and what makes her art great ( and i am always floored by her creativity) is the fact she creates what 'she' likes. there is a sense of 'who cares' what anybody else thinks, and that makes her stuff whether singing, painting, or craftiness uniquely Rachel, and Rachel is unique! She wasn't fooled by the great looking guys that wanted to date her but were nothing more than great looks. She can tell if you are worth anything pretty easily and is not afraid to kick to the curb the ones that needed kicking to the curb. Rachel is strong, with a great sence of humor, she is a great mother, and you can tell she just adores her kids!
we love you rach, and hope this year is another great and happy one for you!! 29 pretty soon our parents will have 4 kids in their 30's!
