Eighteen years ago today you came into my life. My first grandchild, my first granddaughter, my heart. From that moment we have shared a special bond. You were such a wonderful baby and a delightful little girl. There have been so many experiences we have shared. Your life has not always been easy and I know that. You have overcome obstacles in your life with grace and dignity. You have grown into a wonderful young lady. I am as proud to introduce you as my granddaughter today as I was when you were a tiny baby. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and know that you are loved. As I have always told you, I hope you dance.

Happy Birthday Em. I love you. Loved the video Mom but again it made me cry. How can it be that we were just holding that precious little 6 pound girl in our arms and now she is 18. I still remember the mad face she always did, I still think about the bell on the counter she used to climb the couch to get. Anyway, again loved the video and love you.

Happy Birthday Emily.
I can't remember what being 18 felt like but, I hope you have a wonderful day. I asked my son what wisdom I should pass along to you and he just said "Eat your veggies." Maybe at his age (26) he is already to old to relate to teenagers.
Very best wishes to you and your grandma Mary – she is a real character. Nancy Block

Emily,
What a beautiful young lady you have grown into!! Always listen to your grandmother and those who love you and they will help you succeed at anything you attempt. There are few things in the world as true and wonderful as the family who loves us. Someday you will be able to start your own family, remember the things from your youth that meant the most and be sure to share them with your own kids.
You have great things ahead of you, Work hard and BE HAPPY!!!
