May 3

I only realized it just now, but today Abby is exactly 16 1/2. So happy half-birthday to my favorite daughter!

Coincidentally (if I believed in coincidences, which I don't), I was already planning to post something about her.

After she got home from school today, she went upstairs to her room. And a short time later, this appeared on her Facebook timeline.

I have no idea what prompted the message, but I was so, so happy to see it. To know that my girl has faith and that she's not afraid to say so means so much to me.
