This is just to say (though by now, you must know!) how happy I am and how lucky I feel to have you for a daughter. The day I first held you in my arms, you put an eternal hold on my heart... and the passing years have only increased my love for you. You've become a woman who is more wonderful than even I imagined you would be (which saying a lot!). It's so much fun to be with you and share the happenings in your life, and when we're apart, I still feel close to you. I guess that's all I wanted to tell you for now, so thanks for indulging me, you're sweet that way. (Oh...did I say I love you?)
