“You are a joy, a wonderful girl, a voice of reason, the biggest big sister. You, Gabriella, will do great things. You are so kind, inclusive and organized! My mind soars with possibilities for you. Congratulations my beautiful daughter Michigan – WOW. Teresa then continued, emphasizing how proud she was of her second daughter. “I’m so proud of you – as my daughter but especially as a kick a** human!” I love you Gabriella – today and all my tomorrows!”
