From Mom

Well Emily, I think that it has been almost 16 years that we have known you and I am happy that at least half of that time we have shared a last name. If I could have picked Clark's wife, I would have picked you. And it is nice that the reality is even better than the wishing and the hoping. May you have a wonderful birthday-take note that I don't mention any numbers; it is a good policy for obvious reasons. You are an important part of our family. You are a person that I love, I like, I admire and I enjoy being around. May this birthday be one of the best and this year be a good one. I love you, MOM
