I am amazed that it has been a whole ten years since I became a mother. It blows me away that I have a child who is now double digits.

Samantha,

You are a beautiful, caring, intelligent, kind girl. You love your friends and family with a love that is as great as it is abundant. I love your laugh, hugs, conversation and out look on the world. I am brought to reality by your challenge to make the world a better place and there should be equality for everyone. Your understanding of life is amazing and how you can let others understand what you see is beautiful.

You are becoming an amazing lady. I am so proud of you! Thank you for these past ten years, all we have learned together and all you have been able to teach me!

I love you!

Mom
