We Love You Toni!

Happy Birthday!!!

You turned 14 today, I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms. You have grown up so fast, your not so little anymore. You are so beautiful inside and out and we are proud of who you've become and what you stand for. You were always so determined to get what you wanted as a little girl and always a leader not a follower.
I remember a time when I was trying to teach you how to count so we were counting your fingers and your toes and we would count ten toes together and then I would tell you, "You have ten toes, okay", and you would say "okay", with your little raspy voice, then I would ask you, "how many toes do you have"? Without skipping a beat you yell "NINE". We did that over and over again, you never did figure out how many toes you had but you were determined and nobody was going to change your mind.
I know you will be able to accomplish what ever you want in life, set your goals high and don't let anything hold you back from your dreams. Be proud of who you are and what you stand for and the values you strive to live, faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works, integrity, and virtue.
We Love You, and you will always be our Little Girl
Love, Mom & Dad
