20 some odd years ago, on this very day, my beautiful daughter made me a Mom. Made US parents. It will always be remembered by both my husband and myself as one of the happiest days of our lives. I felt so awkward, incompetent and frightened that anybody would entrust such a tiny perfect little being to someone like myself. But somehow, she survived our parenting. She thrived even. And now I am honored to be able to see exactly what I used to wonder about when she was just a baby:
Who would she grow up to be? What would she be like?
You make us proud, my daughter. Always! And although I am sad that you are an ocean away during your birthday celebration, I hope my well wishes for a wonderful birthday, a fantastic year ahead, and a charmed and blessed life make their way to you. And hopefully, you will also get to eat cake, too.
