Today is Caroline\u2019s 20th<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll let you let that fact sink in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroline was born during a snow storm. When Peter left the hospital, he had a heck of a time getting home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had no idea what the weather was nor did I care. I was spending time getting to know my daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years I have watched her grown from infant to toddler to child to teenager to adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been an interesting twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have watched her art style refine since she could hold a drawing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the first story she told about a Mamma Unicorn and a baby unicorn were eating hay (the hay was paper I cut off while I was cutting a pattern)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then she has written a lot both for school and just to write. She had a short story published. She had art published on several books as well as magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My child is intelligent and creative. She is also very disciplined. I think I can count on two hands the number of times I had to remind her to do her homework. She still works very hard on her school work. She has a goal and I think she is going to get there and amaze the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love her more than I can express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Birthday Caroline!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope the day was good to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glad I was able to burden your ears with my lack of singing voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love you and believe in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
