My baby turned 14 yesterday.

Hmmmm..... I was so .... bewildered yesterday that I didn't post it then. Her birthday was Monday (yesterday) and she was 14. How come I can't believe that? How come it went by so fast? I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday instead of her turning 14. I loved her from the moment I found out I was pregnant. I knew she was a girl. I knew we'd be close and I knew she would be beautiful. I was right. I didn't realize that I would love her even more when I saw her for the first time. She was even more beautiful and perfect than I thought she would be. Born with coal black hair... that worried me a little.. LOL.. seeing as I am blond .. but as she got older.. her hair got lighter. whew!

I never thought I would feel the way that I do. A sense of accomplishment .. for raising such a wonderfully, beautiful, talented, smart, well rounded daughter. I never thought I would feel so sad to think that she is just that much closer to being her own person, to becoming an adult, to knowing that she won't need me like she does now. I know she'll always need me .. but...

We are so proud of her and all that she has done. She is everything that we have hoped she would become and more.

Brieanna if you are reading this... you are loved so much and we are so proud of you! Happy Birthday honey ... I love you .

Mom
