From the moment you were bom you became the focal point of my existence; your smile, the sunshine in my
heart; your happiness, the only treasure I sought. So began the great paradox of motherhood. When your tiny hand
touched mine, I knew that God had chosen me to nurture you, love you, and then give you the strength to let go.
Letting go is not easy. But I look at you now - a beautiful young woman, strong in your convictions and deter­
mined to face life on your terms - and I feel my heart swell with pride and joy. My dreams for life might not
always be the same ones you seek. But one thing remains the same: you will always be my greatest treasure. I know
now that the true miracle of that first touch lies in one simple truth: although your hand may slip away from mine, I
will hold you in my heart FOREVER. I love you my Princess, Mami
