Seventeen years ago today I was given the most amazing gift imaginable. This gift completely changed my life, turning it upside and rearranging everything I thought about everything. Seventeen years ago I became a mother for the very first time. Seventeen years filled with joy, fear, frustration, celebration, laughter, tears, screams, smiles, pride, anger, adoration, giggles, quizzacles, learning, adulation, love.

I cannot even remember the world without her in it.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful, intelligent, talented, witty, incredible daughter!
