Hey Mom, Your baby girl has grown so fast, and soon she will leave home.  You are going to miss watching her cheer for her favorite team under the Friday night lights.  You will miss the laughter from the other room as she hangs out with friends.  You'll miss the talks at the counter, the messy bedroom, the sleepovers, and the joy of having her home every day.  

Every time you look at that portrait hanging on your wall you will remember teaching her how to ride a bike, how to swim, and how you kissed her knee when she skinned it.  You'll remember the restlessness of waiting to hear the car pull up when she was out with that boy and the way her hair smelled as you held her after her heart was broken.  You will remember the look she gave you when she found the perfect prom dress.

 You are going to look back at this day over and over and over again and remember how fun it was spending this time with your daughter.  You will be glad that you took the time to do it right and you are going to LOVE those beautiful portraits of her for the wall and the album you had made to cherish this time forever.
