Now...
Our little girl is 18 today!!! I still remember vividly of all 4 labors/deliveries hers was the easiest & quickest...Britt was so anxious to come into the world! But let me tell you, NOTHING has been easy since LOL She has always been, well to put it nicely, stubborn, independent and headstrong. Of course I have mixed emotions...and she admitted last night she does too. Torn between being happy and having the freedom that comes with being an "official" adult-but kind of sad and scared of the responsibility too. I already posted a pic of the card I made for her, but wanted to share the verse I borrowed for the inside of her card.
Our beautiful daughter, oh how you’ve grown…
not a child now, but a woman,
Just at the cusp of the future…
your little girl curls gone,
your sparkling eyes so
full of dreams and promises for tomorrow…
We can’t be sad to see you grown up and glowing,
for this is the moment we’ve been preparing you for…
We look at you and see beauty, innocence and the spirit of youth…
We always knew that this day would come,
just didn’t think it would come so quickly…
like a flash the years have flown by,
and each moment has etched itself
into who you have become and what you will be…
We may weep and sigh as you move forward apart from us,
but we will cheer with pride
when you finally fly away on your own wings…
We’re your biggest fans!
We love you so much, Brittany!!
Here’s to a year of fun-filled days
with everyone who is lucky enough to know you!
Brittany has never been one for big parties and attention, so we are just having ice cream cake after supper tonight-just us and her boyfriend, Adam :~)
