Happy Birthday Nickie! I can't believe my baby girl is 15 today. Every birthday is a blessing and Nickie's birthdays are even more so. None of her doctors expected her to live beyond the age of 6. She has more than doubled that expectancy and I have no reason to believe she won't out live us all. That in and of itself brings concerns of who will care for her when I no longer can't. So I take each day as it comes and try not to think about what problems may come in the future. I'm so thankful that Nickie is here and that she was able yesterday to celebrate her Quinceniera. That is her 15th birthday celebration. It is like the sweet 16 that is celebrated here. So Nickie will receive that celebration as well next year. I love you Nickie!
