My dearest Cache❤️ today you turn 20 - two beautiful decades of life, love and growth. I can hardly believe how quickly the years have passed. It feels like yesterday I was holding your tiny hands, guiding your first steps, and now here you are, stepping boldly into adulthood with grace and determination. As much as I want to punt you through a wall. I am so proud of the woman you are becoming strong yet gentle wise, yet curious independent yet deeply caring. You have a light in you the brightens every room you enter, and a heart that touches everyone lucky enough to know you. As you navigate the adventures that await, remember to take risks, embrace, change, and never forget the power of your voice. The world is yours to conquer, and I have no doubt you’ll achieve incredible things. Thank you for being my best buddy. Happy birthday honey. I love you.

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY Cedar. As I watch you grow up and take on the world with confidence and curiosity, I can’t help but marvel at how much you seem to know yourself at such a young age. You choose your friends with purpose, you are thoughtful in your school and activity choices, and above all, you try your hardest to do your best almost all of the time. You are a caring friend, a loving daughter and a thoughtful human being who has already learned the power of nurturing relationships and trusting your intuition. What an incredible gift. Love yourself Love others Be courageous Be passionate Honor your roots Listen to your gut You are enough And above all, no matter what, I will always love you. I will always be here for you. And I couldn’t be prouder to call you my daughter. Thank you for coming into my life. My life and the world are both better because you are in it. Love, Dad

Last night my heart was filled with joy and tears of happiness as a witnessed your graduation. Your journey has not been easy, but you have faced every obstacle with grace and resilience. Your heart is as beautiful as your mind. As you embark on this exciting journey remember that you have the power to create the life you’ve always dreamed of. Do not let anyone control you and tell you who you should be and what you should or shouldn’t do. Congratulations baby girl spread your wings and soar, may your future be as bright as your smile. I love you!

Dear Cache, Holy F word it’s your 18th birthday! This moment is a cause for celebration, but I am filled with mixed emotions. I know you were always on loan to me, but now that the time is here, it’s very hard for me to give you back. Today, you turn 18 years old. You have reached a major pinnacle in your life, but it has only just begun. I eagerly wait with anticipation to see what your life has in store for you. Of all the things I am capable of giving you today, I feel my words are the most valuable. You have grown into a stunning young woman with a fiery spirit. You don’t like to be labeled or defined, but I think I understand what you are about. You are passionate, driven, creative, and independent. You are as brilliant as your namesake, and yet your heart is fragile. I want to protect you against pain, but know that I can’t. You will go out into the world and laugh with new friends, and cry on someone else’s shoulder. I won’t be there, but I will always be there! You are a part of me, as I am you. I recognize what you turning 18 means. It’s not going to be easy in fact, it’s excruciating because I anticipate just what is to come – a gaping hole in my heart where you once were: a little girl who loved to dance and ride her bike, devour stories about Lake Powell and adventures, and make pancakes with her dad every weekend. I remember back 18 years ago to the day you were born and smile as I recall my first words upon your arrival. “She’s beautiful!” When I look at you, I see my own eyes looking back at me. They are thoughtful, ambitious, spontaneous and quick to find the good in others. I can only hope you learn to find the good in yourself. Follow your dreams. Never give up on something you desperately want. Ever. Don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made in life. You are my first-born. You are love and all things good in my heart. When you hurt, I hurt. When you have joy, I have joy. I can’t wait to watch you grow into adulthood. I hope you will be happy and fulfilled and be caring of others. I may still say and do things that are embarrassing, but I cherish you, and will always love you to the moon and back. FOREVER! Happy 18th birthday Bro Tato! Love, Dad

Dear Sweetest 16-year-old daughter Cedar, Today you are 16. Holy F word 16! It seems like it was only yesterday when you started taking your first steps, with that look of determination on your focused little face that I recognize in you even today. First and foremost, the only thing I’ll ever want for you is to be happy. Know Yourself. Be True To Yourself. Love Yourself. Believe in Yourself. Push Yourself. Keep Learning. Finally, Find Your Reason for Being. My dearest Cedar, I wish you the happiest of birthdays and exciting times ahead. You already have everything you need inside of you to be self-made. The universe always rewards those who align with who they truly are and who pursue their dreams with reckless abandon. I want you to not only fly, I want you to SOAR. Your brilliant mind, generous heart, and magnetic spirit will all work together to make that your permanent reality. I am beyond honored that you chose me to be your dad, and I will always be here to love, guide, and serve you. I love you to the most distant galaxy and back. Because the moon just isn’t far enough. Thank you for being my daughter. Thank you for changing my life for the better. Thank you for making me complete. I love you sweet baby girl. Love, Daddy O’ ❤

Dear Cache, Holy F word you're 17. Happy Birthday baby girl. As I watch you grow up and take on the world with confidence and curiosity, I can’t help but marvel at how much you seem to know yourself at such a young age. You choose your friends with purpose, you are thoughtful in your school and activity choices, and above all, you try your hardest to do your best (almost) all of the time. You are a caring sister, a loving daughter and a thoughtful human being who has already learned the power of nurturing relationships and trusting your intuition. What an incredible gift. What else is there to say? So much and yet so little. If my wish for you is to embrace life and explore all the world has to offer you, then who am I to show you the way? You will find your own way, and the journey will be that much sweeter because it will be your own. That being said, I wouldn’t be your Dad if I didn’t try to inject some of myself in this life journey of yours, so here are seven things that I have learned along my way through life that I think will serve you as you find yours: Love Yourself Love others Be Courageous Be Passionate Honor Your Roots Listen to Your Gut YOU ARE ENOUGH! And above all, no matter what, I will always love you. I will always be here for you. And I couldn’t be prouder to call you my daughter. Thank you for coming into my life. You're my best buddy. My life and the world are both better because you are in it. I love you more than you know Bro 🥔. Love, Daddy'o
