Happy Birthday Michelle Trachtenberg 🥺💔
When you turned 16, it was hard not to still see you as the little girl I met on All My Children. When you turned 21, I had to teach myself to not see you as the little sister anymore. I can't imagine what 40 would have been like. This I know... it would be filled with love. Via @instagram #sarahm
