My Baby Girl Turns 18
September 30 1992 at 5:35am, I gave birth to my best friend. My mother and Comadre witnessed an angel come into our world and whom we named Isis Chanel.
Today marks the 18th year this angel has been on earth with us and during these 18 we have all been blessed each day that she has been present.
My daughter, my best friend, my angel, you saved me the day you were born and I cannot express how proud you make us all. Today is your 18th birthday, today is the day you officially become an adult, you can vote, you can make your own decisions (not that you haven’t already been doing that)…but no matter what the law says you will always be my baby girl. The baby girl I would hold close to my chest and cry, because out of all the mommies in the world, my angel, you chose me. A blessing I would never take for granted.
Though the eighteen year old rode hasn’t been easy, we managed to make it through every obstacle, every hurdle, every challenge and through it all everyday you have amazed me.
Happy 18th Birthday my Baby Girl.
The world awaits you, just go claim what is already yours!!!
Don’t forget to remember me; always Be Inspired and Be Inspiring!
Here is a Birthday Poem for you:
A Daughter is a Wonderful Blessing
A daughter is one of the greatest blessings one could ever have
She begins her life loving and trusting you automatically
For many years, you are the center of her life
Together you experience the delights of the new things she learns and does
You enter into her play and are once again young
And even though its harder to enter into her world as she becomes a teen…
You are there, understanding her dilemmas and her fears
And wishing with all your heart that she didn’t have to go through them
A daughter’s smile is a precious sight that you treasure each time you see it
And the sound of her laughter always brings joy to your heart
Her successes mean more to you than you own
And her happiness is your happiness
Her heartaches and disappointments becomes yours, too.
Because when she isnt okay you cant be okay either.
Daughters aren’t perfect
But you, Daughter, come close to it.
You have given me more happiness than you know
I am thankful for your kindness and thoughtfulness
And I am proud of who you are
And how you live your life
Words cant express how much you mean to me or how much I love you
The love goes too deep, and the gratitude and price I feel is boundless.
Thank you for the blessing in my life in so many ways
