Who is your Sunshine?


I saw this blinkie and it brought back memories from my childhood.

So here's the story. Growing up my dad had nicknames for my sister & I. I was "Partner" and she got to be "Sunshine"... I was a crazy tomboy (thought to be a boy in the womb) and Shelley...well she's sweet smiling Shelley! Anyway...my dad used to sing that John Denver song...you know the one..."Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy..." He would sing it to her sometimes at night when he was putting her to bed. It made me SOOOOO sad that I didn't have a song, so occasionally to humor me, he sang..."Partner on my shoulders makes me happy" Love you dad. Love you Shell.
