You laid down by death’s door five times to make our home complete.

I Watched An Angel Grow Up!
I Watched An Angel Grow Up!
It’s true! I actually watched an Angel grow up! She will deny that she is an angel, but I know angels when I see one. The first time I ever saw her was on May 2, (a few years ago). She was very tiny and I was the first man to ever hold her, kiss her baby forehead, and tell her I loved her. She didn’t respond much at the time, but I wanted her to get used to hearing the words… “I Love You” Because, Angels love with their ears and wise men know that.
She wrapped her baby hands around my finger and when she did that, she wrapped my heart around her little finger. We decided to name our little Angel, Marisa June Ballestero.
I was most honored of all men to watch her grow, play, sing, express joy, and have fun. She was so sweet and affectionate with her Mom and I. Even though we knew she was really an Angel, she even took on the human role of Daddy’s girl!
I watched her grow up. I watched her fall in love. I watched her marry and raise a family. I watched her blossom into a beautiful Angel who is drop-dead gorgeous , talented, loving, and more astounding to me than any Wonder Woman!
One of life’s greatest honors is for me to say, that I watched an angel grow up in my own home. Her birth certificate says that she is the daughter of Marcia and Martyn Ballestero. But her Mom and I know who she really is. She is actually an Angel, a real Angel sent from above!
S0, today is the day I get to say Happy Birthday to my Angel, Marisa June Ballestero Hartzell!
I Will Always Love You!
Your Old Dad

I Held An Angel In My Arms
I Watched Her Grow Up
I Watched Her Choose Friends
I Watched Her Fall In Love
I Watched Her Have Fun
I Watched Her Raise A Family
I Was Happy When She Made Another Little Angel That Looked Just Like Her
Happy Birthday Marisa!
XOXOXO
My Hero Wears A Dress!
My Hero Wears A Dress
She can’t fly, except into my arms.
She can see right through impossible situations.
She can hear you if you need help and can’t ask for it.
She amazes everyone with her powers of love, nurturing and care.
She is a ministering servant to those who love her.
She is always willing to help, to love and to forgive.
She can make the world’s most wonderful food magically appear before her guests.
She always creates a home atmosphere where people want to come and relax.
She denies having super powers, yet her family and friends marvel that she accomplishes the impossible with apparent grace and ease.
She does things no one else in the family is able to do.
I’m telling you. She may wear a dress, but that doesn’t stop her from being my Hero!
She doesn’t even know how awesome she really is and denies being an angel and passes off the compliments with smile and a thank you. But, we are not sure she actually believes the nice things we say about her or to her. She is a Humble Hero.
She Is My Hero, My Angel, My Wife
(As a mere mortal, I have always believed that she is an angel in disguise. Well… Her kisses make the think she’s an angel.)
