It feels like just yesterday you were a precocious, mischievous little boy with more energy than a puppy with the zoomies. Always on the go. Always curious. Always keeping us on our toes.
And while you’re still always on the go, still endlessly curious, and still keeping us on our toes, watching that little boy you were become the remarkable young man, amazing big brother, loving son, and loyal friend to so many that you are today has been one of the greatest privileges, and gifts of my life.
My firstborn. The one who made me a mom.
Being your mom has taught me that love means cheering the loudest, worrying the deepest, and laughing until it hurts. You’ve taught me about resilience, determination, and quiet strength.
May this year bring you exciting new adventures, meaningful moments, good health, and every happiness you deserve.
I love you to the moon and back, forever and a day.
