Well today is the big one, Stephanie!  You would have been 21 years old today, and what a party I’m sure it would have been.  I would have been the party boss, of course, and I would have made sure it was a great day for you.

I miss you so much, and would give anything for us to have you back with us and able to celebrate this day with you.  I hope they are celebrating for you up in heaven.

It looks like we may be moving out to California for a job opportunity for me.  I sure wish you were here and able to participate in our family meetings about it, and that you would come with us to live out in sunny Southern California.  If we do this, it will be somewhere around the Los Angeles area, and I’m sure you would love it.

So happy birthday, my darling Stephanie.  Just know that I’m thinking about you all day today, and we all are wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

Love,

Dad, Michelle, Connor, Alexandra, Danielle, Luke, and Mason
