Happy Birthday, Shanna Malii!

Today is my youngest daughter's 18th birthday. I am so excited for her. This is the beginning of a whole new phase of her life, a whole new horizon of possibility is opening up to her. And she will finally find out the truth...about her life, and her father. And she will know the answers to questions she's been asking in her heart since she was very little.

Baby girl, you've brought me great joy, how much more so to your dad? We both love you so so much, there are no words. We're incredibly proud of you...of your decisions, your accomplishments, your honesty and integrity, and most of all, of your courage in the face of incredible adversity. All that adds up to ensure that whatever you do, wherever your life takes you now, you will be a success.

We all love you, sweetheart, your grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, your sister and brother and their families, and of course, your dad and I, more than you could ever know. We have watched you grow from a small, bubbly tow-headed angel, to the beautiful, strong woman you are today. And we are all glowing with pride and love at all you have accomplished.

Here's to the glorious future, filled with hope, healing, and happiness. Happy Birthday, my beautiful, accomplished, darling girl, and may all the questions harbored so long in your heart be answered this coming week!
