You are 18? You look terrific, and give me hope that I'll have my 13 year old boy for a while yet, too, hopefully.

You are a very beautiful girl; I do love calicoes also. I hope you get to enjoy many more years with your wonderful family. I would also have promised you that you would stay forever with me; those other families don't know what they are missing!

Enjoy your special day, Sweetheart.
