17 years old

Seleck said, "It's going to be a girl."

Stockton said, "It's going to be a boy."

Madsen giggled and said, "It's going to be a bunny rabbit."

From day one,

You stole my heart and wrapped daddy around your little finger

Fiercely independent, sugar and spice and not always nice.

Tea parties, dress up, lemonade stands... cookie Wednesdays.

Playmates and play dates,

Camping, hiking, hunting, fishing,

Hallmark movies, Friday night yummy drinks,

Snuggles with dad. Maleck's 2nd mom.

Shopping trips and long runs, friends, adventures-

Quiet, in the shadow, bright smile, fashionista.

She speaks her mind- brothers taught her that.

Bold, daring, courageous, truth speaker, spirit driven-

17 minutes... 17 years that changed my life!

Love you Em!
