Taylor,

The happiest day in my life was the day you were born.  It is hard for me to believe that in a few months you will be out on your own.  I have always said that you are an old man born in to a young body.  It is truly amazing how mature and responsible you have been your whole life.  You have been such a joy to watch grow in to a young man.  Life has thrown it’s challenges but your easy nature and strong personality have always made you persevere.  I am so proud of all that you have accomplished in your studies and in achieving the goals you set for your self. Your determination will take you far in life.  You are a great son and brother as well as friend to those around you.  You have so much to look forward to and a bright future ahead.  We love you so very much and even as you step out in to the world you will always be my baby.  Like the bubbles you used to love to blow as a child, you are sailing in to the adventure of your life.  I am so proud to be your mom! Love you always!
