Juliana Gomez, the lovely daughter of celebrity couple turned politicians Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres, is celebrating her 16th birthday today, September 8.
And her busy parents had just posted their birthday greetings on Instagram.
Richard wrote, "Happy birthday my lovely @gomezjuliana !!! Mommy and I wish you a healthy and a happy 16th bday! I love you!!!"
Lucy did a bit of reminiscing, and recalled that sweet evening she brought her baby home.
Lucy wrote, "We brought you home, 16 years ago, tiny as a little kitten, swaddled in a yellow blanket embroidered with pretty flowers and a bonnet to match.
"Each night, you would want me to carry you forever and ever.
"And although for the first few months, I was this breastfeeding, sleepless, and tired mommy, it was the happiest kind of tired, and you would reward me daily anyway with a thousand little smiles, all of them imprinted in that part of my memories that is tender, and sweet.
"I would stare at you while you slept [something I still do to this day], my heart filled to overflowing with that pure kind of love every mother feels for her child."
Lucy also said that Juliana will be her forever best friend.
"You are, in every way, a gift from above, our most wonderful answered prayer.
"Know that Daddy and I love you very much always, to the moon and back, and beyond.
"Happy 16th birthday, my forever best friend!
"Continue to make me and Dad laugh endlessly. If only everybody knew how hilarious you are.
"When I am all of 85 years old or more, wrinkled, forgetful maybe, with little aches and pains here and there, may I remember ever so warmly and happily all those moments we laughed uncontrollably, until we were almost breathless, and always because of something you said, or did."
In the end, Lucy put into words what she would want her daughter to have.
"Life is beautiful, my love, and the world is all yours for the taking. May all your dreams come true, in accordance with God's beautiful plan and time.
"Cheers on your birthday, and to many, many, many more to come! May today be but the start of the very best years of a life wonderful and blessed!"
Happy sweet 16, Juliana!
