a message to a young lady

attended my niece / goddaughter's debut... i was one of her 18 guiding stars... sharing my message: happy birthday. you're 18 now, officially an adult... : ) you know, there are certain things that are excusable, understandable when done by young people but not so when done by adults. adulthood supposedly equates with maturity... well, supposedly... ; ) i'd just like to say, whatever age you are, i hope you'll always retain the little girl in you. now in our life's journey, we really can't avoid falls. but as they say, fall down seven times, get up eight. let me end by saying, life is not fair... but God is good all the time. happy birthday... ♡
