My sister-in-law, Rita, is having a birthday this week. Since she's in town for a few days instead of at her paradise country home, I decided it was the perfect time to celebrate. We met at El Fenix and indulged the senses.
Being with Rita is always quality time spent. She is an amazing woman. I admire her for many reasons, but the top ones are: how she has cared for her ailing mother for many years now, being the nurse and nutritionist, and being the most caring daughter anyone could imagine. I admire Rita for her faith that spills over into my own life and blesses me. She is always ready with encouraging words and I know all of us are in her prayers. I love Rita for all the extras she does for us, like sending cards, or pictures she has taken, or articles she feels will interest us. And I thank Rita for being a loving aunt to my kids and for spoiling Ron when she filled in for me at work. She's been a blessed part of our family for many years and I can't imagine her not being there.
Happy birthday, Rita, and thank you for loving me like a sister. Donna and I treasure you like one, too. You have a big heart and a bigger place in our hearts. I love you!

Happy Birthday Rita!!
Happy Birthday Rita! She also spoils my little girl whom she is a kindred spirit with. She brings her sweet puppy around for Baylee to lay on - ha ha
Happy Birthday Rita. You were always my favorite wife of Donna's brothers. Would love for you to join our Girl's Night Out next time.
Happy Birthday Rita. Such a special person.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Reet! You are such a thoughtful person--always remembering our birthdays. And, during chemo, our mailbox regularly held an encouraging card from you. You have inspired me so much in my life--in art and spirit. Love you!
Rita, Peggy said exactly what my heart feels for you. I love you so much and also am so happy you are in our family.
