Brittany~
I want you to know how very proud I am of you. I hope you know that these past 18 years raising you have been AMAZING, awe-inspiring, and, yes, even challenging, at times. However, there isn't a single second that I would take back even if I could. We've made some of the best memories that I will forever and a day hold close to my heart. I pray that I've done a good job of instilling in you the life skills and morals and values that will enable you to make your way in this world. I wish for you all the happiness and success life will bring your way. Most importantly, I want you to always remember that I'm here for you, day or night. That will never change! I have been, and will continue to be, your biggest fan! Though miles may come between us, I'm certain that the bond between us will keep us close.
Happy 18th Birthday! Stretch your wings and FLY!!! Just promise me one thing...that you'll never forget how to find your way back HOME.
All my love~
Mom♥

Awww...I totally know how you feel because my Chicky turned 18 on the 22nd of January. They do grow up so fast! Of course, they weren't really our's to begin with, eh? They were simply on loan from heaven!
Oh my word... you were crying when you wrote that, weren't you? Because I was all teared up by the time I was finished reading it. What a beautiful tribute to a lovely young woman; happy 18th birthday, Brittany. Your parents have given you the greatest gift of all; a firm foundation on which to build your life. And April, you did good...
