Sweet 16

Ashley Nicole will be 16 tomorrow.  With Smart phone, Ipad, Ipods and whatever other numerous technology is available to her, what else does she need that she doesn't have.  In the way of material items, there probably isn't anything that is NEEDED; wanted perhaps but not needed.  Emotionally I pray that she knows how much she is loved by God.  Brian and Angel and Taylor (even though he may not display it) love her more than life itself.  Brian jumping in front of a car, pushing Ashley to safety, would be a natural instinct for him.
Ashley, as you grow older, experience after experience is going to follow you.  There is a heavenly Father who is not always going to push you out of the way of an oncoming car (figure of speech here) Our trials and tribulations help us on our path to salvation.  Always turn to God in those times when you feel lost and alone and trust Him.  He knows those tough times and is anxious to help.  There will also be times of joy and happiness shared with the people who love you.  In those times give thanks to your heavenly Father for the blessing.
Ashley, I love you more than words can ever say.  I am blessed that God saw fit to make me your gramoo.  I am so proud of you.
