Today she is 16



My lil lady turns "Sweet 16" today and I am still in awe at how time has flown. It seems like only yesterday that I was dressing her in bows and lace and, watching her
just lay there for hours thinking she was a most precious gift from God. I know that God's blessings have been with her, she was dead at the age of 2 and He gave her back to me when she drowned. She has overcome so many little things with a warm smile, an "I'm going to succeed" attitude, and a sweet spirit. Her dad and I are very proud of the way she has joined right in evangelizing with us. She works the alters, makes new friends, and wants to help each church we are blessed to be with any way that she can. Victoria Leigh Alba you are our pride and joy, and I just want to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET 16"

Tori, when I was young and had "struggles" an older lady would alaways tell me " Carrie you are a survivor, you are gonna make it."

You are a survivor too! Love you!
