"Joy, unspeakable joy...

An overflowing well, no tongue can tell

Joy, unspeakable joy

...Rises in my soul, never lets me go"  - Chris Tomlin

Your love is inspiring...

Your spirit infectious...

There is a fire in your soul and it shines through in all you do.  You have touched and continue to reach so many lives and make a difference everywhere you are and in everything you do.   You are beautiful, kind, a survivor, peace, you unite, astound, comfort, love love LOVE, have the heart of a child and the strength of a warrior.  My hero.  Compassion, passion, leader, humble.  A light that shines brighter with each passing year...refusing to let the trials and tribulations of life dim that light.  Your devotion to Christ and love for Him and His people never cease to amaze and inspire.  AND you forgave me for somehow forgetting to do this on your actual, Christmas Eve birthday before it ever happened.  I love you so much...Happy 22nd Birthday!!

P.S. You are the best Christmas present I've ever gotten!
