More to come. HAPPY 18th Birthday, Cara and Madelyn! There are no words to describe how proud I am of you both."

"Despite the many turbulent times you've had to deal with so far in life, you have emerged as wise, level headed, reasonable, forgiving, loving, kind and absolutely brilliant ADULTS!" Kate's birthday message continued. "I can say that I've poured endless love into you and fought tooth and nail for the best for you, but I cannot possibly take credit for the truly wonderful humans (adult humans!) you have become!"
