Your first words were 'I love you' to your brother as a baby when you met him. And as your dad sang perfectly, and what it will always be about – 'Just those three words repeating… I love you…' Keep doing great things, my sweet girl. He will always be with you! And to celebrate you with everyone – I’m sharing part of dad’s original version of 'Only These Words'. Happy birthday, Toni! <3 Mom,” wrote Vicky.
