Happy 14th Birthday Vincent Thomas!

Grandmom and I wish you a very special day and are both very sad we are being prevented from celebrating with you for the 5th year in a row. I cannot imagine how big you are now. I ask Daddy for pictures but he refuses to give them to me and never has so I do not know what you look like, but I bet you are taller than me! I am thinking your voice might be deeper, you most definitely are a handsome young man and not a little boy anymore like I remember, and I most certainly will cry with tears of joy when I finally get to see you and your brother and sister.

There is not a single second of any day that has gone by that I am not fighting to get to my precious three, VAD, the three of you. Grandmom is still fighting in court to see you too. I love you so much and think of you guys all day, every day and it is what keeps me strong and surviving to get to you. Nothing will stop me from getting to you and healing you from all that has happened and protecting you from further harm. I love you with all of my heart. Happy Birthday young man. I am SO proud of you!!!!!

Love, Mommy
