...and she's been sweet all her life. I know her mom and I are a little bias, but ask anyone, and one of the first things they'll say about her is just how sweet she is. We noticed very early in her life that one of her main "gifts" is LOVE. I watched her in Peru show that love to so many children that needed it, and when you ask her what her favorite part of the trip was she'll tell you, "the kids."
I've watched you grow into the beautiful woman that you are becoming, and I must admit I'm a little scared now. The hard part about love is that it's not always returned and it's a guarantee that you will be very hurt and disappointed at times. It's becoming harder and harder for me to protect you from these things, but I know you're strong enough to handle them. There are many people in this world that are really hard to love, and the world will try to convince you that they don't deserve your love. DON'T LISTEN!! They're the ones who need it most! I've bought into this lie at times and pray that you never will.
I love you and who you are! I love that when people look at you they can see the sweet, caring, and loving characteristics of Jesus reflecting off of you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIE!!!
P.S. Please drive carefully. You are the daughter of a professional driver, and we have a reputation at stake.

Ok.. truth be told, I did tear up reading the sweet birthday blog for Cassie. Having coached Cassie since middle school it touched my heart. Not only is she sweet and kind but has a wonderful gentle spirit and a smile that lights up the room. Hey, and her folks aren't half bad either.
Happy Birthday Cassie,
Love Coach O.
Awww! Happy Birthday Cassie!
A very apropo post...she is definitely very sweet and gentle-spirited. She is gracious, kind, and has an air of class and sophistication about her that is not often seen in girls her age.
Happy Birthday Cassie!
