It's a special day, and not because it's St. Patrick's Day.
A couple years ago, if you'd asked me to describe where I'd be now, I never would have predicted this. I've said this before, but I consider myself extremely blessed to have met all of you. Since today is Sadie's birthday, it seems only right to spend a little time talking about her. Whenever something's happened, Sadie's been there, to offer a helping hand or to try to cheer me up. I remember not knowing what to think of her at first, and wanting to make sure she stayed out of trouble. I remember wanting to make sure she was safe. Turns out she's a heck of a lot stronger and more capable than I ever gave her credit for back then, and she never really needed me to protect her. In the year since, she's grown into a young woman I'm more proud of every day.
You'll have to forgive me for embarrassing you a little. Happy birthday.
