Oh my... I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that my youngest, Corey, turns 20 this weekend... it really seems like yesterday that I was waiting to go into the OR for delivery. How well I remember crying when I heard it was a girl... I was so thrilled! And I loved every minute of her as a baby... I remember rocking her to sleep and singing to her, all cuddled up in a blanket, lying in my arms, with her head on my shoulder... I'm not sure I've ever experience anything quite like it. She was such a fun baby... and I couldn't wait to hear her first words! I was just so excited to hear her little girl voice come out... she was a beautiful baby, and she's a beautiful young woman. Her life has so much possibility and so much excitement to come... she has been a tremendous joy to me, and I am incredibly grateful that I have had this amazing opportunity, getting to be her mom. I love you, babe... Happy 20th, and many, many more to come!
Corey is going to be really annoyed that I put this photo of her on my blog, so, I might just as well go ahead and really get on her nerves, right?!?
It's been a great ride, Corey! Thanks for all the wonderful memories!!!
Your daughter is beautiful!!! and she looks like you!
