Sweet sixteen, my girl. Today the world is yours to explore — but you'll always have a home that's already yours. Be bold. Be kind. Be unmistakably you. Happy 16th.

Happy birthday, my girl. You have made me reconsider several of my life positions, update three of my opinions, and improve as a person at an age when most people have stopped trying. You are an expensive but effective life coach.

Eighteen, my girl. I'm going to give you the same advice I give everyone about to be handed the keys to the whole world: the world will tell you who you are before you've had a chance to figure it out yourself. Don't let it. You get to decide that. Be stubborn about it. Call home. Happy 18th. I'm so proud it's embarrassing.

Happy birthday, sweetheart. You are 100% too smart for most of the rooms you'll walk into. Please walk into them anyway.
