Carolena,

Your Mummy says you’re a miracle. Your Daddy says you’re his special baby girl… But it was 2L84 Us from the beginning!

Continue to speak your mind and revolt for what you believe.

We are so proud of the beautiful, smart girl you’ve become. Congratulations on another CBT production!

Love, Mum, Dad, Nicholas, Alice, Sally & Scout
