Daniel,
Twenty years ago today was one of the best days of my life.
You were born.
The pain of childbirth was shadowed by the overwhelming joy of helping you into the world. My proudest role has been making a place for you to be safe, healthy, and teaching you about your world. Watching you grow, learn, create and begin to make decisions for yourself has made me even more proud.
Now you're twenty!
No longer a teenager!
From reading to you every night when you were little, doing school projects, or the random paper mache for fun, although sometimes I miss those times we spent together I can't wait to see what is ahead for you. I know it is going to be great.
I am so proud of you.
Keep pursuing your art (in all its forms) and continue to stand by your convictions that make you the amazing person that you are. Some day you will be able to look back on your experiences with pride.
And today as you go about your busy schedule just remember how much I love you.
Happy 20th Birthday Son!
Mom
Happy Birthday Daniel!!! It is hard to believe your 20. Congratulations on all you have acomplished in such a short time and keep it up. Congratulations Blair and Bryan for doing such a great job.
