My inspiration is my 36 year-old daughter, shown here as a 4 yr. old. She was the child I had to fight for, after two boys (DH said 2 was enough!). She has always been highly spirited, goal oriented, and driven even as a little girl. She is a wonderful lawyer, friend, daughter, granddaughter, wife, and mother. She speaks her mind, stands up for what she believes in, and is loyal with all capital letters. She inspires me because she is fearless (and I am NOT). She takes on new challenges, tries new things, and strikes out on her own, daring things I would never dare. She works very hard, but takes time to enjoy everything in life with a HUGE sense of humor. I can't believe sometimes that she came from my DH and me! I thanks my lucky stars for her every day!!

Well, if this card and story don't make her bust her buttons, nothing will. What a little cutie she was - what a very special, proud mama she had. Beautiful card; beautiful story!
