on this day 20 years ago, a pair of SHOEs popped out into the world.

"scintillating fireworks light up the night sky*

crowds of people jump up in exuberance and joy

party poppers ring in the air of celebration

and 8 month old charlene babbled incoherently in excitement, anticipating a meeting with a special someone 20 years later..



HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHOES!




I love U!
