"Happiness is Lubbuck Texas in your rear view mirror..."

Thirty-two years ago, I was knocked out for some oral surgery and nine months later gave birth to a baby girl. My husband had threatened to sue the oral surgeon if she had come out looking Italian, but she came out with blond hair and a pink complexion, just like her daddy. We named her Melissa and called her Missy. We were living in Lubbuck, Texas at the time and she was born in the spring during a tornado warning. It was definitely an omen. She bounced into this world and hasn't slowed down since. There's a song written by Mac Davis that says, "Happiness is Lubbuck Texas in your rear view mirror". We did leave Lubbuck behind, but we definitely brought the happiness with us. Happy Birthday, Missy!!
