The BEST Daughter in the World

Happy birthday to my daughter Natalie! Yikes, I cannot believe my youngest turns 26 this weekend!

(Natalie's first birthday)
Through the years Natalie has brought immeasurable joy to our lives. Such a sweetheart, she’s grown into an incredible young woman who’s smart, witty, socially responsible, loving, adventurous and gorgeous!  I marvel at all that she is including her honesty, integrity, sense of responsibility and joyous zest for life.

Putting into words what Natalie means to me is difficult because I know whatever I write will not, in ANY way, capture the overwhelming love and admiration I have for her.  She's simply the best, and honestly, I could not have been blessed with a more wonderful daughter!  How lucky am I?
