This is 19…
I chose just one photo this year.
Because this is you.
The girl with the biggest laugh, the quickest wit and the kind of smile that lights up every room. You don’t try to fit in—you’ve always been unapologetically yourself, and I hope that never changes.
You’re clever, fiercely determined and wonderfully stubborn. Once you’ve made your mind up, there’s very little that can change it—and although that has tested us over the years, I know it will also be one of your greatest strengths. It will help you chase your dreams, stand up for what you believe in and never settle for less than you deserve.
You are reliable, loyal and will always speak up for the underdog.
Those qualities can’t be taught—they’re simply part of who you are.
As you dream of a career in law, I have no doubt you’ll go wherever your determination takes you. Just remember that success isn’t measured only by what you achieve, but by the kindness, integrity and laughter you bring to those around you.
Your friendship circle is a testament to your character - you are very blessed 🥹
Being 19 is about embracing every opportunity, making memories and continuing to become the incredible young woman you already are.
Keep laughing. Keep questioning. Keep standing your ground. Keep being beautifully, authentically Lois.
The past 19 years have been one of the greatest privileges of our lives.
Happy 19th Birthday.
Love you Lolo
