Melissa is Now

17

 
Melissa at age 7 and 17

Hope you don't mind that I dug up a few photo's of you!

Wow! What a beauty you have turned in to.  I am so very proud to have you for my niece .  Can't believe how in just one year you have become such a lady. Working, driving, having a boyfriend. Hope you don't mind that I sent this page to John too:)My baby is no longer a baby.  Just think you will be a senior in high school this year and then it will be real life. So enjoy this last year before you turn 18.  It has been fun watching you grow from a sweet little baby to what you are now.  You have always been what I would want in a daughter.  I hope that you continue to make your Aunt Donna proud and do what is right in life.  I know that there will be a lot of times you feel confused and lonely.  Times you aren't sure what to do.  Just remember that everyday is a journey and you are able to control your destiny.  Before we know it you will be going off to college and then you will be moving away from home., getting married and hopefully having a family of your own.  Just enjoy your young life and don't be in any rush to grow up.  It happens faster then you think.  Take life one step at a time.  Oh well this is just your little yearly pep talk from your Aunt Donna.  Oh and I hope you have a fabulous Birthday!

Love and Hugs,
Auntie, Donna
