...you were born into my life. It was a cold Saturday night in December, but you have brought warmth and joy to my world ever since. Your light shines brightly through sparkling eyes of green, harboring an uncommon exuberance that shines wherever you are. You are laughter, jubilance, thoughtfulness, and delight. And though I've caught uncanny glimpses of myself as you have grown from baby to adult, you are so much more you than I was I.
You are twenty. A milestone for us both. Thank you for breathing so much life into my living, my dear, sweet Beccah.
AWW! How sweet! You can see everything you said about her right in her eyes. It shows very much.

Why I remember her first day of school!!! Her first horse ride, and two corgi dogs wiggly with delight to see two girls coming out of school..

Beccah, I was just remembering earlier today that it was your birthday. I remember you as a little thing with fine blond hair that stood straight up! Remember all the times I tended you and Nicole and we always had to make chocolate chip cookies.? Good times!! Happy Birthday beautiful!
