You know when you love someone so darn much you stare at your phone trying to narrow down the caption? But it's kind of impossible because there are too many things to say in 2000 characters.
So I'll sum it up with a thank you. For being the best role model. Just by being your authentic, lovable and hilarious self. Life threw many curves. I'm always in awe of your grace through it all. Happy birthday mama, cheers to many more!
