Life became more colorful when you came into my life… Happy Birthday to my angel!

On this day 22 years ago, my life changed. Since that day, you taught me how to be a better person and more importantly, the most precious gifts in life are not materialistic but rather simply things like a touch of your hand or a soft kiss on my cheek. You taught me how to love unconditionally. My day is always brighter and my heart is always warmer when I am with you.

 

I look at you today and see what you do not, an incredibly talented and beautiful young lady who has endless possibilities awaiting. You have so much to give this world and I feel incredibly blessed to be your mother. You may have outgrown my lap, but my precious one, you will never outgrow my heart.

 

On your special day, I wish for you many things:

 

Make a difference in the life of others

Have the confidence and strength to overcome any obstacle

Advocate for those who can not

Do not be afraid to express your feelings,

tears are a sign of strength not weakness

Appreciate nature and the peacefulness it has to offer

Keep your glass half full

Say "thank you," "please" and "I love you"

Be true to yourself and trust your instincts

Always keep that "fire in the belly"

Choose your battles carefully

Give to others your time and attention

Spend quality time with family and friends, and most importantly,

Laugh, love and enjoy the challenges life has to offer.

 

These and so many more I wish for you on your special day.

 

Happy Birthday! I will always love you…

Mom
