30.

As a mother, birthdays now hold a completely different meaning to me. It’s not just another year; it’s a celebration of life, a day to remember what’s important.

This year is much harder. Not only have I entered a new decade, but I am entering it without both of my parents. Today I am celebrating without my mom for the first time, without that special connection that she and I shared on this day. It’s definitely much different without her yearly call, her singing our special birthday song. I miss both her and my dad so much today, but I am also very grateful for all of my friends and family that make my life so special.

Thank you all for being there, I am truly blessed.
