Twenty-two years ago today at 1859 hours my life completely changed. Every dream, focus, goal, and purpose for my life became new. I delivered my very first baby daughter, Alexandra Elizabeth!

She’s a girl of strength, beauty, intelligence, and loyalty. She will give you the shirt off her back, and never judge you. She is the most forgiving person I know, and the most stubborn. She’s fiercely devoted to her family, and is one of the most dedicated friends I’ve ever seen.

I’ve watched my beauty travel the hard road, and overcome obstacles that would destroy a lesser person. She’s a fighter and overcomer. She is compassionate and accepting. She is a natural leader, and motivator encouraging people to be true to themselves. I love the woman she is becoming.

You’ve come a long way Baby, and I love you more than you’ll ever know. I love your crazy big blue eyes, and many different colors of hair. You make me laugh so hard all the time! You are a joy in my life. Happy Birthday, Alix!
