18!!! 🎉

Emily –

My love, my first born, the beautiful soul that made me a mom… I wish you the absolute happiest of birthdays.

18, one of those milestone birthdays. I know you probably feel very “adult” right now and in a lot of ways you are and have been for sometime, but I encourage you to hold on to your youth where you can. Have fun, be silly, enjoy being 18. Don’t rush ahead.

I’m so proud of you for all you have become and all that you are. I love you so much.

Love,

Your Mom (and Bailey)
