Our baby girl, Ashton turned 19 years old this week. That's pretty old. If she were a boy she would be getting ready to go on a mission. But, she's not a boy. Thank goodness. Every family needs an emotional girl. We have been blessed to enjoy our daughter for 19 years. It was a strange birthday celebration because she wasn't here. I thought about her all day and was hoping that her friends were helping her have a special day in Provo, Utah. We talked a few times on the phone and we sang the typical Happy Birthday song to her. But--I missed making her birthday dinner and lighting her candles and watching her make a wish and BLOW them out and watch her open presents. Having a 19 year old is a strange thing. Makes you feel old. We miss our baby girl but are so grateful that our Ashton is continuing to grow and do amazing things. She's strong and spunky and smart and courageous and fearless and funny and ambitious and a self-starter. You go girl!!!! Hope your 19th year is incredible.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ashton! I remember those younger years. Hope you will get the "wish" you thought of when you blew out candles.
