Dear Annamarie,
I don't think I can adequately describe how proud I was of you today. When they wheeled you off to surgery, you had still never stopped smiling and chatting. You charmed the pants off doctors and nurses and other patients, and you made this whole experience a piece of cake for me. You are as strong and brave as anyone I've ever met. I want to be you when I grow up.

Love,
Mom
