Today you're 16!

Happy 16th birthday Gabe!  I can't believe today has come. I hope you have a nice day l and that you know how much Dad, your siblings and I love you.  

While you are almost fully grown, I still see you as the little boy who came into our hearts so happy and bubbly.  

This picture was taken on the first day we met you and on our first ride.  My goodness while you were excited, you have no idea how much dad and I were too.

My wish for you this year Gabe is that you find true joy in your heart, guidance from God as you move forward in your life, and perseverance to work hard and achieve your goals.  We love you very much Gabe.  We wish you all the happiness, health and love. 

Happy 16th birthday.

Love, 

mom and dad
