You were such an adorable baby. Sixteen years ago today was a VERY long day for both of us. But, at the end of the day - when they put you in my arms - we bonded. Everybody in the room felt the love as you looked into my face and really knew who I was. Weird, but true.

You've always had a heart of gold.


And a personality that could not be matched. ("To heck with pants" was your motto for a lot of years!)


A style of your own - whether it be in camo, cowboy boots or the latest punk rock phase - you are who you are. And I wouldn't want you any other way!!
