To my dear daughter, It's hard to believe that it's been 16 years since you were that tiny, spoiled baby I used to have to hold all the time because if I put you down you'd scream..

You've never stopped making me proud of you, and I am constantly amazed at the beautiful woman you are becoming. I know I have a hard time letting go sometimes, but know that I'm working on it, and by the time you turn 18 I'll be more than ready for you to get out. (only kidding)

I love you. Happy Birthday.
