This project has so much meaning to me. I made it for my daughter for Christmas.  We never really know what life is going to throw our way. It is full of so many beautiful moments, and we hope, very few tragic ones.

This past year my daughter had to deal with more than one tragic moment.  As a parent, I always want to protect my kids from pain. 

But sometimes, things happen beyond our control and we just to have to help them through it the best we can.

I am proud of my daughter, and how she is handling these life changing circumstances. She is strong and beautiful, but also so fragile.

I want her to always know that in spite of what she has been through, she is shining bright, and that I am so very proud of her.  She has grown into such a remarkable and strong woman. 

I want her to never forget how I love her so very, very much.
