Dear Carolina, 

From the moment you entered this world, I knew you were going to be special and unique. On the morning of June 6, 2006 my life changed forever. You weighed 6lbs 11 oz and were born with 2 teeth. I still remember dressing you in cute dresses and outfits with ribbons and bows in your hair. Those years went by so quickly and then one day my little girl, who use to play with her American Girl Doll, became a young woman. 

When we started to discuss your Quinceñera, you were in 8th grade. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit that year and having your dream dance seemed impossible.  We waited a year and then the summer of 21, we decided to have a Sweet Sixteen Celebration for you. It was worth the wait; your vision of an Enchanted Forest Celebration was beautiful and elegant. Looking back, it seems only fiting for you to have celebrated a Sweet SIXteen since SIX is your favorite number.

Over the years, your father and I have had so much love and support from your grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, cousins, and friends in helping raise you. As you start your journey as a young woman just remember you will always be my special 06-06-06 baby! 

Love always, 

-Mom
