She looks angelic, doesn’t she?
This is Amy in 1985.
She was 2 years old.
And I know she will totally hate this, but I still see her just like this sometimes.
Looking at her through the mom-lens.
Today she turns 24.
Twenty-four!
I used to just stare at her when she was sleeping and wonder what she would look like when she grew up.
I thought she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen and I was convinced she would grow up to be a striking young woman.
And I was right.
Beautiful.
Smart.
Funny.
Talented.
An amazing dancer.
A wonderful daughter.
A valuable friend.
The funnest person I know to hang out with.
I know.
I’m supposed to say this stuff, because I’m her mother.
And I confess. I still have that mom-lens firmly in place.
But, seriously.
Can I help it if it’s all TRUE?? =D
Happy Birthday, Mimi.
Te adoro.
My daughter, Amy, is quite a character – loud, boisterous, very opinionated, obsessed with Salsa Dancing, somehow singlehandedly gets on Univision TV in Miami of all places, listens to all kinds of foreign, weird music, loves her little brother and sister and watches over them like a mom, is not afraid to keep her crazy brother, Adam, in line (well mostly), and asks me to do stuff for her, and pushes me around like she owns the world and can accomplish anything!And I love her for all of it.:)
I love you, Amy, Happy Birthday. Te amo.
Happy Birthday, Amy! You are as amazing as your parents say you are–and then some! Blessings on your birthday and your year!Love,
Suebee
