Right Before My Eyes

On This Birthday

3 reasons I love you:

1. you have, hands down, the best attitude I have ever seen in a teenager. So sweet.

2. each time you leave the house or say good-bye on the phone you say to me, "Love you, Mom."

3. you make me laugh everyday!

3 of your strongest gifts:

1. obedience. you learned this from no one. you came that way.

2. friend to all. including 3 sisters.

3. intelligence. you retain & notice so much.

3 wishes for you:

a brand-new pair of basketball shoes every month.

all the art/sketch paper and pens/pencils you could ever want or use
