Happy happy birthday my girl! TWELVE years of the joy and magic you uniquely create wherever you go.
Twelve sounds so big and grown up – and mommy is having one of those moments realizing that you really are both of those things now. And honestly, sometimes I still picture you in barely-there pigtails with your sweet toddler smiles.
Now, you have grown so tall and beautiful, wise, SO BRAVE, and ALWAYS kind. I am always proud of you, but this past year around the sun forged a new level of pride as I witnessed how you navigated something more challenging than most kids your age usually ever face. You have entered adolescence with a deeper understanding of who you are, and a curiosity for what makes you, you. This new path of self discovery led you to read this very blog about your life and relish in the journey we’ve had; seek to find your very own music and bands; continue drawing everything you love, designing cool worlds inside games, AND still playing like a kid. You, my girl, are awesome.
Our road trips and time talking about the world and the things and people that bring you joy always inevitably teach me something and fill me with endless happiness.
I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate you – for you are the girl who taught me how to love.
Happiest day, sunshine! Let’s party!!!
Xoxo
Momma
