Happy birthday honey. Three birthdays have passed since the accident and each one continues to bring with it renewed growth and spirit. At one time, I did not know if your would see 18 and now as you celebrate 20, I know that Full Recovery is no longer a slogan but is instead an actuality.My heart sings with joy as I watch you blossom into the woman and potential we all knew was possibly. It has not been an easy road but one that we were destined to take together.

As you understand, things do not just happen. There is a reason for everything and together we have come to understand and grow from this experience. Together, we have relearned what life is all about. We have faced adversity and overcome. There are great things ahead in life and where the road takes us we do not know. All we can do is to relearn and become better in the eyes of God.

Thank you for helping me become a better person. Because I've know you - I have been changed for good.

I am so proud of you and I love you millions and billions.

Dad
