We all thank you Lord, for Daisy. Here's a couple of passages from the bible that apply:

Psalm 128:
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, flourishing within your home.
    And look at all those children!
There they sit around your table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees.
4    That is the LORD’s reward for those who fear him.
5    May the LORD continually bless you from Zion.
May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live.
6    May you live to enjoy your grandchildren.
And may Israel have quietness and peace.                (Our cup runneth over!!!!)

Proverbs 31:
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She will not hinder him but help him all her life.
