My little Zoe.

How can she be 13 years old?  I know it's a complete cliché, but it is so true -- Where does the time go? I will never forget the moment I told my best friend I thought she was pregnant.  Crazy I know because we realized later that she was about a minute pregnant.  That's the friendship we have.  She's the sister I never had and a friend I could never even imagine.  And 13 years ago the most gorgeous little girl in the world was born.

I held her in my arms and fell completely in love.  I don't even have the words to explain it.  And before I knew it she was growing up.

Simply adorable.  And she's so talented.

So here we are in the blink of an eye . . . a teenager.  I can't believe it.  And I love you more than ever my gorgeous girl.  I am so proud of you and I am looking forward to seeing what an amazing young woman I know you'll become.  It is my pleasure to be there to see this.
