25 years ago today I was doing this for my first time!
Now she has turned in to this!
She started hanging out with this, and they became best friends.
She used to hang out at the lake and do this!
Some nights she would go follow this guy around (Randy Rogers Band)!
Then she met this guy!
He became the love of her life and they did this!
A short time later, this happened!
A few more months later, and this happened!
Today, 25 years later she has turned in to this!
The perfect Mommy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFFANY
25 Years ago today, I was a nervous first time father. I was scared, praying and hoping that you would be born healthy and safe into my arms. You were born with the most beautiful hair and eyelashes. Your skin was so soft and your complexion was magnificent just as it remains today. I helped spend the next three years trying to chase you down, keep you dressed and spoiling you beyond my means. You were the first grandchild, the only one for a few years and you very rarely lacked attention. Your Grandmother, Papa and Aunt Shayne would take you everywhere they went and show you off.
25 years later you have turned into a loving Mother yourself with a beautiful little girl that I know in my heart that you will love and cherish just as I did you. I look back and wish that I could change a few things. I wish that I could have given you more, or been there more for you, but as I look at you today I realize that you are the person that you wanted to be. You ARE what you wanted to be and nothing I could have ever done would have changed that. I know that you will be a very good mother and that you will continue to be a great wife.
Tiffany, I love you with all my heart and will forever continue to do so. It is my prayer today that you will have the best birthday ever and that you will continue to be blessed in your life. It is also my prayer today that someday you will continue your journey with God.
Happy Birthday Tooder!

WOW. Nice little photo essay. The tribute at the end is straight from the heart. Good reading.
Mr. Corner, there is no greater gift for a child -- especially a girl -- than warm, sincere love expressed from her father.
I'm so grateful to count you as a Friend. You are a kind, admirable man.
