A Perfect 10

Dear Tori,

    Happy 10th birthday! I can't believe how quickly the time has passed since you were born 10 years ago on that hot July afternoon. I close my eyes and I can picture you, just a tiny little thing being placed in my arms. I remember everything so clearly from that day, but what I remember most is your eyes. Your eyes were wide open and seemed to be looking around and taking it all in. Since day one, you have been a curious and inquisitive soul. I hope that stays with you throughout your life.

    I love songs and to quote songs, and one of my favorites is "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart. So as we celebrate you this week, know that my wishes and dreams for you are many and when you head this song, think of me and all that I want for you.

Forever Young

Rod Stewart

May the good Lord be with you Down every road you roam And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home And may you grow to be proud Dignified and true And do unto others As you'd have done to you Be courageous and be brave And in my heart you'll always stay Forever YoungMay good fortune be with you May your guiding light be strong Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond  And may you never love in vain and in my heart you will remain Forever YoungAnd when you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well For all the wisdom of a lifetime No one can ever tell  But whatever road you choose I'm right behind you, win or lose 

All my love,

Mom
