Happy 15th Birthday, Miss M!
My darlin’ daughter,
How the time has flown! It seems like just yesterday I heard the doctor say, “It’s a girl!” and heard myself reply, “Are you sure?!”
We should have known, your dad and I, that from that very minute, you would be forever challenging us. Over the years, just when we’ve thought we had you pegged, you let us know we were – once again – way off base.
In the 15 years since your birth, you’ve grown into an amazing young woman; one who is both beautiful and intelligent, girlish and tomboyish, sweet and just a little sour. You are perfect in all the ways that matter. I am so proud of you, and so proud to be your mom.
I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
As long as I’m living
My baby you’ll be.
