Maria 🧚🏼‍♂️ I love you. I’m so grateful to God for you ♥️ You have the strength to move mountains - I know I’ve told you that before, but I feel like you need to be reminded. There are times where you feel weak or at your wits end, but you still hold on. Every birthday year that rolls by, is another year that I’m glad you’re here. I can’t imagine being who I am if it were not for you. You helped me find my voice when I was afraid to speak, you encouraged me to stand up for myself, you always looked at me with zero judgment when I would sit there tearing myself apart. We’ve been down so many paths together, some with twists and pot holes in the road, but I would never want to imagine what that would all be like without you by my side. You have helped me in ways I don’t think you’ll ever comprehend because you always forget just how beautiful your soul truly is. I’m so excited to see your next chapters in life, and see the goals you’ve set come true. Even in moments you may doubt yourself, know that I will always be your biggest and loudest cheerleader. If there ever is a time that that isn’t enough, remember: Dad was so incredibly proud of you, and he always will be ♥️ I always have and always will love you Mari. Happy birthday mami 🎈
