I only blinked.

Honest.

That's all I did.

I didn't even turn my back for a second!

And now she is 13.

How on earth does that happen?


Happy birthday, Perri Bear!
You have made our lives so much better.
Your wit and wisdom,
your caring and compassion,
your bright and beautiful smile...
What on earth did we ever do before you came along?

Love you with all my heart, baby girl.
God bless you on your 13th birthday.
