Time flies so fast! It seems only yesterday that I was baby sitting my favorite niece. Now, we are all gathered in the clubhouse of their subdivision to celebrate her 18th birthday. If I had the power to stop time I would. Part of me is scared for her. Like her parents, I want to protect her forever from the world which might hurt her. But then again, I know that her parents raised her well. We watch her grow and blossomed as a fine and responsible young woman. All we can do right now is trust her.

The clubhouse is alive because of all the decorations for the birthday party. The place is covered with everything pink and glitters. Flowers, ribbons and balloons adorns the entire place. Even the ceramic sconces and ceiling lamps which brighten and adorn the entire clubhouse are decorated with pink ribbons to go with the pink birthday theme. My lovely aunt initially suggested to repaint the ceramic lamps with a pink paint to match the motif of the party then repaint it back to its original pristine white color. However, the Homeowners Association greatly oppose the suggestion. They are not sure if repainting the ceramic lamps with a white latex paint will restore it to its original color. It would be a pity as the ceramic lighting fixtures and the ceiling lamps are beautiful as they are. Thankfully, everybody agreed to just decorate the ceramic lighting fixtures with pink ribbons.
The journey towards adulthood is like a roller coaster ride. She will face the so many joys and sorrows in her journey. She may also encounter so many crossroads and roadblocks in the future. We will always we will always be around to guide and support her in her journey. We trust her to make wise and responsible decisions. Besides, she is her father's daughter.
