I love Robin, our first born, with all the love a father can give.I love the way she makes lemonade out of the lemons she receives from life.
I love her determination that has served her well in overcoming some bumps along her way.
I love the way she has made each day memorable in some very special way.
Robin had more experiences in her first thirty years than anyone else I know and came out the wonderful person I adore.
Robin's smile and laugh brighten every occasion and brings tears of happiness to my eyes as I remember all the times that smile, that laugh made my day complete.
Robin is a great mother, auntie and wife.
Her talents are manifold and she exercises them always.
I love you Robbie with all my heart, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

you are a great example of someone who is really good to "the least of these"
you are undaunted no matter what the challenge - real estate, sewing, money issues - you just keep moving
you are fun and funny and love a good laugh
you are compassionate without smothering
you are strong and optimistic
you will not let life defeat you no matter how hard it tries

I love my mom.
She is a true adventurer, I can remember traveling across the country from Morgan Hill to Cleveland on the train (she wanted to take the train, because she thought it would be the last opportunity to do a cross-country roadtrip--it would be the great American roadtrip.) She wanted to stop in every city and get the feel of each city. I was a bit more shy and preferred to stay in the train (so we wouldn't miss the departure) but she insisted we experience each place. And we saw my first snow on the mountains of Colorado, saw the deserts of Nevada, bought a Chicago pencil, etc. She has always had this zest for adventure, and probably has made me a stronger person for it.
She has an incredible eye. I can remember her talking on the phone to Grandma or Linda or one of her friends and by the end of every phone call she would have an incredible drawing. She would just call it a "doodle", but I would consider it a masterpiece!
She is so much fun to people watch with. She has a relaxed way of taking people in and always has the best insight.
She is never scared to try new things and therefore has so many great stories.
She is so artistic, (i wish i still had her 1970's embroidery) full on dragons embroidered in multi-color threads.
She has true kindness in her and never a mean bone.
She has always been a friend as well as a mother.
She makes me laugh.
She knows how to calm me when I am feeling huffy and bratty.
She has a zest for life that is contagious.
She is a beautiful person, with an incredible way of looking at the world and I LOVE HER!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Love,
Nai

I like Aunt Robin because:
She is a great sister to Linda and sister-in-law to me.
She is always happy, upbeat, and optimistic. She notices the good in others and is never judgmental.
She has a great sense of humor, loves to laugh, yet is sensitive to others and is never sarcastic or cutting in her humor.
She has great talent in sewing, cooking, and in lots of the practical ways of living.
She is great at making the most of even the most meager opportunities.
She has raised great children and has a great husband and together they make a great duo.
I love her and appreciate her.
Love,
Uncle Richard
I am humbled by the love and appreciate all of my family sooo much. The visit to San Diego just confirmed again how blessed I am. Next time I will bring John and he can ride bikes with Robert.
