Tonight as the T9 plays percussion on the windows, I cannot help but ride the wave of nostalgia. It feels like just yesterday that I held you in my arms for the first time, marveling at the tiny bundle that wrapped all of my soul in! You remain the most beautiful thing I ever met.
And before you say ‘that’s not true!’ Let me tell you, am allowed to be not objective! It’s in the job description ☺️
Can you believe it? Fourteen candles flickering on your birthday cake, reminding us all that you are no longer a little boy but a brilliant young man.
First and foremost, let me say that you are an absolute rockstar. Your intelligence shines through in everything you do. You amaze me with your thirst for knowledge and the way you effortlessly soak it all in. You have grown not only in height, but also in character. Your kindness, compassion, and generosity shine through in everything you do. Whether it’s helping a friend in need or standing up for what’s right, you have always displayed an innate sense of goodness that fills my heart with joy and gratitude.
So, here’s to being fourteen and still leaving your mom struggling to keep up with your brilliance!
Ah, your sense of humor – the goofiness that never fails to fill our house with laughter. You have a knack for turning even the dullest moments into something hilarious and memorable. Your perfectly timed jokes and silly antics always light up the room.
You are determined to give your best in everything you pursue, and it’s a quality that will take you far in life. Whether it’s acing exams, perfecting your basketball skills, or mastering that new guitar riff, you approach every challenge with unwavering dedication. Your work ethic is truly inspirational, my baby
As you embark on your teenage years, I want you to live in the moment, be present and embrace yourself, all the essence of yourself and never be afraid to learn and grow and question and go after your dreams.
You are a stardust of boundless potential, my love, and the planet is that much better with you in it!
Know that I will always be your home!
Happy 14th, my goofy ‘crosstridge’ heart!
Love, Ma
