"Today is your birthday. Gone are the clowns, the piñata and the colored balloons, infallible on other occasions. Instead: secrets, giggles, messages to the mobile and many e-mails. I look longingly at your photos and you are definitely not the same. You have become a woman at a speed for which I was not prepared and suddenly, an 18 year generational chasm separates us. I still close my eyes and remember your wet skin on my chest, your smell of newborn and my tears of emotion the moment you made me a mother. "

And without a doubt, will amaze us and we will love it every day, if that is possible, more.
