Peña and Watson have given South San Francisco Patch permission to reprint the daily messages they write to Juliana on Facebook in a regular column:

Happy 3rd birthday to the best daughter and the greatest gift that I received in life. I love you so much and my heart is broken in a million pieces all over again today. I can't believe you're not here to celebrate today, last year you had sooo much fun opening presents and it was the first time you'd ever tried to blow a candle out, everyday for about three weeks after that you wanted to blow out a candle, so you did. Today I really need you to be with me, okay? Please come see me mamas, I need your help to get thru today. I love you more than anything and I'll see you "in a little bit." - Mommy
