The Wallpaper For Your Bedroon

Dear Susan,
My day to send a message is really tomorrow, but since I will be with you at the spelling bee,
I'm sending it one day early.
I have so many stories of your growing up years, that I have been thinking about this month,
with your big day this next Monday the 19th. This is the one that makes me laugh, and if it
was to happen today, I would go along with your choice, but since it was my June Cleaver days,
with my wanting everything so girly girl for you, the answer was, NO!!!!!!

When you were about ten, and we were going to wallpaper your one wall in your bedroom, I
brought home book after book of wallpaper samples for you to look through and make a choice,
but each time, you would spend turning page after page, and nothing pleased you, and then one
day, I was in the kitchen and I heard you yell, MOM, I FOUND THE WALLPAPER FOR MY
BEDROOM!!!!!!
When I went upstairs to see your choice, it was, NO, NO, NO....you are not going to have the
four heads of the Beatles in black and white on your wall. After telling all your friends how
mean your Mom and Dad were not to let you have your say so, and after sulking in your room
for awhile, you finally agreed to have pink tulips with green stems.
The Beatles were just becoming popular in the United States, and with their music and long
hair, we were not quite ready for them.
I hope this has not made you go to therapy, and caused you be on a couch telling the
doctor what weird parents you had, if so, like you tell me, " it's time to let go of it."
So, my WONDERFUL DAUGHTER, just know you are so loved, and I'm so blessed to
have you in my life. Happy 50th Birthday Susan, may the next fifty years be filled with
God's blessings, Good Health, Laughter in your days, and Joy in your Heart.

I Love you,
Mom
