PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: Trust and believe in God and yourself. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Live each day to the fullest and know that we will always be here for you. You are the light of our lives and we love you more than words can express.
SOMETHING SPECIAL: Finally you are here! After being 13 days late and a scary labor, you arrived by caesarean section. You were perfect, healthy and had a great set of lungs.
