Dear Natasha,
I could never forget the first time I held you in my arms. I loved you even more from that moment. I taught you to believe in yourself… and look at you today! You’ve blossomed into a beautiful young lady with wings spread so wide. In you, I see all my hopes and dreams. And as you navigate the phases of life, I watch you dream big and work hard to achieve them. I watch you create memories with more friends than acquaintances. I watch you hold your standards high without compromise.
As you grow into adulthood, my heart is filled with great joy because there is no question you’ll follow the song in your soul. And you’ll have the courage to grab every opportunity that comes your way.
Life will never be easy but it is too short to wake up with regrets. So remember that genuine success comes from true fulfillment and happiness. It is, however, without doubt, I know you have the strength to persevere, and the confidence to take you through this journey called life.
So today as your mother, I stand proud as a peacock. Happy 18th Birthday to you my wonderful daughter!
Love, Mom.
