Caitlin Cecilia!

She was a surprise….

But such a wonderful gift!

So full of life as a little one, that she would scream through her days with joy in her heart!

Independence was crucial, so she skittered around the house in her little infant walker—you could hear her banging against the walls in the hall!

A more beautiful sylphlike imp there could not be in the world—that infectious smile, that melodious voice.

Then she grew up!

Always so smart and always so loving.  Generous to a fault….with her time, with her love for everyone.

Smart!  Loved to make people laugh—and she still does.  She has my sense of humor, although not sure whether that is a blessing or a curse J

The apple of my eye—she loved to tell stories with pictures.  A writer/producer/director/actress extraordinaire!

Made me proud as she became a Gator.  Made us all proud as she makes her way in the world with grace, compassion, intelligence and a zest for life!

She is my treasure—my lovely daughter who has made my life rich beyond words.  Yesterday was her birthday….and we all celebrate that she is in our lives…especially me!

I love you Chweetzum!  Happy Birthday!
