When I have kids someday, I wish you could talk to them and share what you have made of your life in the past 14 years. Such an inspiration. I may track you down in 15 years...
Collette, you are my inspiration. It's been written countless times, but it's worth writing again: I'm so proud of you, and I think you are truly amazing. I'm so thankful that you shared your beautiful story with us, and I'm even more thankful that you're here with us today (I don't know what we'd do without you ). Congratulations on 14 years... I'm very proud.
