35 years ago tonight, I was crying myself to sleep. The love of my life, Paul Sale, had been home on leave for 2 weeks waiting for our first baby to be born. In just a few hours, he had to leave to go back to Okinawa to be a good Marine. I could not believe that he was going to miss the birth of his first child.....typically, Heather Bombdiggity, took charge of the evening, making her arrival in the middle of the night...we even almost ran out of gas on our way to the Ft. Wood hospital because that was in the days of gas rationing and we had the wrong number license plate on our car to buy gas that night---I think Pauls frantic face changed the gas station attendants mind... anyway, by 7 am, we had a beautiful daughter, her dad had spent some time with her, and he jumped on a plane back to the other side of the world. Tonight, I am going to sleep soundly and wish her a very happy (bit early) birthday, Miss Heather! Thanks for bring us together and forcing us to become real grownups, we love you forever!
