Happy 18th Birthday Sharlene!

11.11.08
I can hardly believe the day has come that my first baby is now 18. My heart felt broken all day...where had the time gone??Could my baby now be considered and adult? graduating soon from high school?? It is so unbelievable to me.
I remember like it was the other day. Going into labor. I was 21 and scared to death. I always knew she was a girl, even though everyone else said I was having a boy:) when she finally made her appearance I fell in love immediatley. She was so tiny and so cute. She had some complications, but overcame them after a few weeks in the NICU. She has always been a fighter and I am so proud of her and who she has become. She is grown to become a wonderful daughter, sister, grandaughter and friend. We are all so blessed to have such a sweet, strong, compassionate young woman in our lives!
I love you Sharlene!! Mommy.


and a few weeks after her 18th bday....her transformation...hair cut, lip pierced....so beautiful! (even though I wasn't totally thrilled with the piercing..Im ok with it)
