  5. Happy birthday, Sabrina!!! Part of me will always think of you as the adorable little kid in the red bathing suit with the big yellow flower and a sun hat on top of your curls, but you have clearly grown into a beautiful young lady. I know how proud your mom is of you and I know you get a lot of your strength and smarts from her. Happy 14th Birthday!
