HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA

Goodness, has it really been 14 years?  Where has the time gone?  I still remember when I first found out about you, how I cried because I didn't know what the future would hold for you.  Your father was in Kuwait.  I was barely holding together with 3 children, how would I handle a fourth?  But the flutter of movement, the whisper of a heartbeat and it didn't matter.  My fears were dissolved. 

A daughter, a beautiful dainty daughter.  You were my butterfly of hope in a crazy time.  One could not help but smile when they laid eyes on you.  Later, when doctors scratched their heads as they tried to explain to me why I was losing my daughter, I saw your determination and you proved them wrong.  To this day they cannot say what went wrong and then what went right.  Once again, it didn't matter.  You are here.

And you are 14, a beautiful young woman.  With determination in your eyes.  I know you will achieve anything you set your heart to.  It is all you know how to do.

Happy birthday Rebecca.

Loving you always,

Mom
