Sammi Sunshine is Sweet Sixteen

My Sammi is 16! Eek! I just cannot believe it. She was born an absolute ray of sunshine in our lives, and she continues to be a bright ray of light. I am so grateful for her in my life. She is a beautiful young woman, and I am honored to be her mother. I could go on and on about her, but most of all I just want to say that I love her. 

I love Sammi so much.
