Birthday greetings

In the run up to my daughter's 16th birthday her schoolfriends made a photo/scrap book with messages and photos,they gave it to me for safekeeping.
I haven't been able to pass this on to my daughter yet and am not sure if I ever will,so I'm going to post a few extracts here,in the hope that one day she will see them.

The book is full of photos,some of which we had never seen,natural,happy shots taken with mobile phones.These pics mean so much to me,the natural image of my happy daughter,before her life was torn appart .

Hey *****
I guess I didn't know you that well and I wish I'd gotten to know you better.
I didn't have any lessons with you and I wasn't in your form,but I know the
impact you made on us all when you left,
Wherever you are,I hope you are safe,

I hope that you have a great 16th birthday wherever you are,and that you are safe.
I'll be thinking of you all day.
This photo album is so nice,it will remind you of all the great times we've had together,and hopefully when you come backwe'll be able to have some more.
I always took for granted that you'd be at school,but now that you're not I realise just how much of a friend you are to me
Hope to see you soon
