17 years ago today...

Dear Alek, As your mother I will always want what's best for you and want to see good in all that you do. As you grow older now and branch out on your own, I would like for you to take the time to sit and decide who you really are inside.

Ask yourself - "Where do I plan to be a few years?" and then make a plan to get there.  Dig deep and find the answer within your heart and soul.  Be true to yourself and do not forget to ask for guidance along the way. Always remember that life is what YOU make it.  

And always remember, I love you.
Happy Birthday Alek!
