"IT GOES BY IN A BLINK"

OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER


Yesterday it was our Choni's Birthday and as always the memories of years gone by come flooding back. From the day she was born their was and elegance about her always bright happy and full of life.

Schooling for Chontele was one achievement after another nothing less them credits or distinctions she has always had a love of knowledge and never without a pen or book in her hand. I always remember one comment a teacher wrote on her report once it said:... I ask the class one day to write down where they would most like to live with 99% answering near the beach, Chontele said.. right next door to the Library LOL.

Today Choni is no different she has had poems published a poster for abused children winning her an Australin Day Award any many other awards and medals for representing her State at National level in swimming.

Raising Choni has just been such a beautiful experience and so proud of her, even when in her teens she went through a period of slamming her bedroom door, Shane said to her, if you slam that door one more time I will take it off. Well of course she did, and sure enough he took the door off,LOL. The shock that he had actually removed it was enough to erace that habit, but she responed with not speaking to her father until he put it back on!!! So after 3 days, "Shane" not Choni, could'nt handle it anymore so he put it back on, so funny!! but that was her she could always hold out the longest, and if by chance that door would slam after that, she would yell out, sorry Dad, it was the wind, he would say ok love, Yeah right I would think as their wasn't even a breeze in sight!!

No matter what age she is, she will always be Daddy's little Girl!! and my ony daughter and through the years my closest friend.

"We love you seetheart with every beat of our heart"


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
