Like j's daughter before her, Elletu's oldest daughter recently turned 40. This is the second BVGO to hit the Big 4-0. Such beautiful young (middle-aged???) women they are, busy, working mothers, and just think, their childhoods were rooted on Bethel Valley Lane. I wonder, at 40, do they yearn for the carefree summer days spent at the Piggy Park? As they raise their own children, do they stop and think, "Wow, this is what my mom went through!"? And I think the biggest, most important question I have is, "Do they have a fun group of friends with whom to navigate through life, and someday, will they be grandmothers with these friends?"
Hats off to Elletu's daughter for raising five (yikes!) children. I myself saw her at her job up to the end of that fifth pregnancy. Hats off to her for being such a beautiful grandmother at 40 (super yikes!). Her daughter was our first BVGOO, and her granddaughter is our first BVGOOO.
So Happy (belated) 40th birthday, 'S,' with love from the BVGs. May you always be proud of your heritage (as in, being a BVGO), and may God always bless and keep you and your family.
